Tour of the Drents Friese Wold and Boschoord

Your route starts at Hotel Restaurant De Wapser Herberg. Today you will discover the Drents Friese Wold and Landgoed Boschoord, part of the national park. This area was developed by the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid. The land turned out to be unsuitable for agriculture, so they decided to plant forest there. In addition to forest, you will also find fens with special nature. The Maatschappij van Weldadigheid has transformed part of the forest into moist heathland and pieces of raised bog. This way, the water is retained better and you will see the original nature again - 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, that way you will really experience the vastness of this area!
