National Landscape Drentsche Aa
The starting point of this cycle route is in picturesque Zuidlaren. A little further on you pass B&B Schipborg and Hunebed D02. You then cycle through the Drentsche Aa National Landscape. Here you experience the Drenthe of the past with Saxon farms around the green, fields on the convex ash and hay meadows in the lower stream valley. You will also cross the Balloërveld, a vast heath with burial mounds and a real sheepfold.

Drenthe silence
At Rolder\\\'s Patathoes you can take a break to refuel. After that you will get to know Boswachterij Gieten-Borger. You will find a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees and grasslands here. At the edge of the forest you will pass Bistro aan het Bos, time for something tasty. You drive many kilometers through the adjacent forests of Schoonloo and Sleenerzand. What a silence! In Sleen you can see the fifteenth-century Reformed Church. The route ends at Bed & Breakfast 1874.

Sights

Hunebed D02

Landgoed De Schipborg 64a
9469 PJ Aa en Hunze
http://www.hunebedden.nl

This hunebed is small in size and originally had four capstones. One of those stones fell in the grave and the other stone is missing. The gate side stones and the key stones are still complete.

Hunebed D10

Two of the four capstones of this hunebed still rest on the seven side and two keystones. The hunebed is fenced off because a flock of sheep grazes in the hilly forest and heathland.

Grafheuvel

In the Bronze Age, people continued to bury some of the dead (about 15% of the population) in or under burial mounds. The people were buried in various ways, such as in wooden boxes made of planks or hollowed-out tree trunks.

Schaapskooi Herders van Balloo


9458TE Aa en Hunze
https://www.herdersvanballoo.nl/

The Ballo? Rveld flock counts no less than 400 Drenthe heath sheep. That immediately makes this herd the largest in Drenthe. On the edge of the nature reserve you will find the sheepfold, also worth a visit! There is an information board where you can find the flock of sheep that day. It sometimes requires some searching, because you are in the middle of nature. But once you see them, you can't suppress a smile. Such a large flock of sheep is really a beautiful sight.
