Description
From Borger you can take a beautiful bike ride with two faces. The first part of the route introduces you to the quiet Drenthe forests. Then you cycle through the former Drenthe peat area.
Treetop path
In Boswachterij Gieten-Borger you drive through an almost 3,000 hectare nature reserve that consists of a mix of deciduous and coniferous forests, heathland and peat bogs. The deeper you go into the forest, the quieter it becomes. In the forest you will also find the Boomkroonpad. During this educational and fun walk through the treetops you will have beautiful views of the wooded area. In Borger you will discover Restaurant & Pancake Play Farm De Deugniet, an authentic pancake farm from 1901.
Forestry Exloo
In the former Drenthe peat area you have panoramic views over the grasslands veined by straight ditches. On the Hunze you will pass De Juffer, a flour mill that was built in 1841 at another location in the village. A little further on you cycle through the small Schreiersbos: the trees protect the residential area behind it against the peat colonial sandstorms in the spring. Towards the end of your route you will pass through Boswachterij Exloo.
