Tour of Dwingelderveld from Havelte

Your route starts with LUDIC food and sleep. You first drive through Havelte, a beautiful village in Drenthe, just like Uffelte, which you will pass a little later. From here you cycle via a beautiful route to Dwingelderveld National Park, the largest swampy 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. Grab a bench at the Davidplassen and enjoy the butterflies fluttering around. The Dwingelderveld is the last place in the Netherlands where the rare peat butterflies still occur.
