Description
This route takes you through the National Landscape Drentsche Aa to Assen. Discover the contrast between this quiet nature reserve where time seems to have stood still and the pleasant city of Assen that is full of historical buildings. Along the way you can also admire typical Drenthe dolmens.
Tarel's Restaurant
The first part of this route takes you from Schipborg to Assen through the National Landscape Drentsche Aa. Man has had little influence on this nature reserve and that is why it has looked more or less the same for centuries. Here you will find forests and heathlands through which the Drentsche Aa stream meanders. In this beautiful area you can take a break at the Restaurant van Tarel. Enjoy a tasty snack and a drink here and gain new energy to continue your bike ride.
Discover Assen
After about 35 kilometers of cycling you will arrive in Assen, one of the youngest cities with city rights in the Netherlands. Assen has a protected cityscape, so there is plenty of beauty to see here. Then you cycle further through the stream landscape of the Drentsche Aa to Schipborg. You end your trip at B&B Schipborg, where you can book an overnight stay. From here you can also follow route 124246 and route 334185.
Typical Drenthe dolmens
You can hardly avoid them when you take a trip in Drenthe: dolmens. On this route you can admire two of these historical gems. Dolmen D17 is located near the church of Rolde and a little further on you will find Dolmen D18. Dolmen D17 is no longer in optimal condition, but dolmen D18 still looks good.
