This walk is part of the multi - day walk from Coevorden to Ommen of the Vechtdal route . The route follows part of the Pieterpad, the most famous long-distance walking route in the Netherlands. Along the way you will get to know Coevorden, Gramsbergen and Hardenberg.
Historic Gramsbergen
You start your walk at Coevorden train station. The first part of the route takes you through the green landscape of Drenthe and Overijssel to Gramsbergen. On the way you make a crossing to the other bank of the Vecht. Gramsbergen has been inhabited since prehistoric times. In the Cultural Historical Information Center Vechtdal you can view various utensils that were found in and around this town. In the time of the Hanseatic League, Gramsbergen was connected with a few other cities to the important trading city of Deventer, but Gramsbergen was not really involved in the Hanseatic League. The town has therefore never really flourished in the Hanseatic period.
Along the Vecht to Hardenberg
A little outside Gramsbergen you cross the Vecht again and then you follow the course of the river to Hardenberg. Especially in the summer months, all kinds of fun events are organized in Hardenberg. So be sure to take a look at the cozy center of Hardenberg.
Go home or continue tomorrow?

Then you can walk the second part of the Vechtdal route the next day. On the second route you continue your journey from Hardenberg to Ommen.

Windmill De Arend was originally a windmill from Haarlem. This tower mill with wooden octagon was built in Haarlem in 1888 and in 1894 the mill was moved to Coevorden. Before this, there was already another mill in Coevorden, but it burned down in 1890. Over the centuries the mill has been restored several times. For example, in 1937 the rods were streamlined and in 1977 the mill was restored on a large scale. The mill had stood still for about 25 years and was therefore completely in disrepair. The restoration was completed in 1979 and the mill has been running regularly since then. In 2013 the grinding mechanism in the mill was improved, so that the mill could grind on wind power again, and in 2014 the mill was repainted in the colors that the mill had around 1937. In 2008 there were plans to build a replica of De Arend in Vancouver at the Holland House during the Winter Olympics. However, this plan was eventually canceled.
