Kop van Drenthe: Surprisingly Beautiful!

Your cyclist's heart will beat faster in the Kop van Drenthe. You drive through a varied environment, plenty of nature and old villages. You will also pass the beautiful Museum Nienoord. Around the Leekstermeer you drive through a wide moor area. You can see many streams flowing through this basin between the higher sandy soils of Drenthe and the clay soils of Groningen, such as the Lettelberterdiep. Just below Roden you cycle through Landgoed Mensinge, 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 deposit from 1524.
