Description

Your route starts at Camperparc Stee in Lhee and takes you through the Dwingelderveld National Park. Here you will find gently rolling heathlands with heather and scrub heath, fens, peat swamps, coniferous forests and drifting sand. As a cyclist you have an almost undisturbed horizon here, allowing you to experience nature optimally. Furthermore, you can enjoy the peace and quiet here. The only sound you may hear is the bleating of one of the two herds of Drenthe heath sheep that graze here. Along the way you will pass sheepfolds where these herds spend the night. During your tour you will also pass some ancient burial mounds from the Bronze Age, an impressive testimony to the fact that people lived here long before our era. Near Ruinen you drive past the Zaandplatte, a thatched octagonal wooden belt mill from 1964.
