Tour of Drents Friese Wold and Boschoord

Your route starts at Hotel Restaurant De Wapser Herberg. Today you will discover the Drents Friese Wold and Boschoord Estate, part of the national park. This area was developed by the Society of Benevolence. The soil turned out to be unsuitable for agriculture, so it was decided to plant forests there. In addition to forests, you will also find fens where special nature occurs. The Society of Benevolence has transformed part of the forest into moist heathland and patches of raised bog. This way the water is retained better and you will see the original nature again here - complete with animals such as the grass snake and viviparous lizard. Be sure to stop at the two lookout towers that you encounter along the way, so you can really experience the vastness of this area!
