Kop van Drenthe: Surprisingly Beautiful!

In the Kop van Drenthe your cyclist's heart will beat faster. You drive through a varied environment full of nature and old villages. You will also pass the beautiful Museum Nienoord. Around the Leekstermeer you drive through a wide low peat area. Through this basin between the higher Drenthe sandy soils and Groningen clay soils you see many streams flowing, such as the Lettelberterdiep. Just below Roden you cycle through the Mensinge Estate, which is also called Drenthe in a nutshell because of its characteristic landscape. A museum is located in the centuries-old manor. After your bike ride you can relax at the cozy Hotel Eetcafé Zalencentrum Onder de Linden. At Leek in Groningen you will pass the beautiful Nienoord. This country estate was created in the sixteenth century as a reclamation project in a vast peat area. Now it is a stylish noble estate with a beautiful borg from 1524.
