Tour of Reestdal near Dedemsvaart

This cycling route starts at Familiecamping Hendrikswijkje, near Hoogeveen. From here you cycle to the Reestdal, an idyllic stream valley for gourmets. The Reest is a peat stream that forms part of the border between Overijssel and Drenthe. You have a beautiful view of the strong meandering of the border river close to the starting point, near the peat village of Dedemsvaart. The former raised bog stream is still very narrow here. Get off for a walk at the Drogterstoringen point,'t Dorpshuus: detour to the Bird Watching Hut (route: 23, 32, 33, 22, 23, length approximately 3 km). The unspoilt character of this area makes the Reestdal a true paradise. The old thatched farmhouses fit perfectly into the decor. The Steenberger Oosterveld is a park-like landscape that consists of a mosaic of forests, heathlands and cultivated fields.
