  • Hiking route 177022
From Camping & Grandcafe't Haantje you can take a varied walk. First you walk a bit along the Oranjekanaal. This waterway was dug between 1853 and 1861 to open up the peat area around Emmen. Through the trees you look out over fields and grasslands to the right. After a while you walk through Klijndijk, a mining village. Then you walk into the Valtherbos. The path mainly leads you past fragrant conifers. Here you pass a former hiding place, a place marked with a large boulder. From 1943 until the liberation, sixteen Jewish people in hiding stayed here. Resistance fighter Albertus Zefat was betrayed in 1944, but refused to name the location of the hiding place. He was summarily executed by the Germans. You walk back to't Haantje via Klijndijk.
