Walking route Drouwenerzand, Drouwen and Bronneger

The Drenthe villages of Gasselte and Drouwen are wonderfully peaceful places to walk. For example, in the Drouwenerzand nature reserve on the Hondsrug. You will see forest, heathland and drifting sand here. You may also encounter the herd of Drentse Heideschapen that grazes here. On the edge of Drouwen you will pass several beautiful farms. Between junctions 61 and 63 you will pass no fewer than 5 dolmens! D21 is one of the oldest: the grave probably dates from the year 3400 BC. Further on you will walk through the esdorp Bronneger, after which the route will take you over unpaved paths along fields and meadows. Finally, you will walk along the Brandsdijk. On the right you will look out over the Branden: a nature reserve that also serves as a water storage area. The route ends at Camping het Horstmannsbos.
