Description
National Park Drents-Friese Wold and National Park Dwingelderveld are a stone's throw away from each other. By bike you can easily explore both parks during one trip. Add to that cozy towns between the two nature reserves and you have a beautiful environment for a bike ride.
A varied nature
The first part of the route runs through the Drents-Friese Wold. This area consists of gently rolling heathlands, forests and drifting sand areas. You cycle mainly along the edge of the Drents-Friese Wold and then you cycle via Hoogersmilde to National Park Dwingelderveld. This park is almost 4000 hectares in size with wet heathlands and forests. It is wonderfully quiet here, so it should not be a problem to relax. You will also find historical burial mounds and fens here. The Dwingelderveld is basically everything Drenthe has to offer, but on a smaller scale in one area.

Dwingeloo
Between the two national parks you will find the village of Dwingeloo. In the centre of the village lies a large green village square with a protected village view. Furthermore, you will find the St. Nicholas Church from the 15th century here. In 1923, a large part of the church interior went up in flames during a village fire, but fortunately the church building has been well preserved. This village is definitely worth a visit.
