Description

Imagine yourself far from civilization in Dwingelderveld National Park. This is the largest marshy heathland in Western Europe. You can cycle beautifully along rolling heathland, shifting sand, forest and dozens of lakes and fens. Rainwater does not penetrate into the ground here due to an impermeable layer below the soil surface. In this way, more than sixty fens and moors have been created spread over the area. In the summer, cap and heather colors the area beautifully pink and purple. After your tour of the Dwingelderveld, get off at LUDIC food and sleep in Havelte for a tasty lunch. Then you cycle back through the woods of the Holtingerveld. Here and there, craters in the ground bear witness to a bombing raid on a German airfield that was located here in World War II.
