Description
The name Fietserspad might remind you a bit of the Pieterpad and that is exactly the intention. The Fietserspad runs approximately the same as the Pieterpad , but then on roads where you are allowed to cycle instead of just walk. This way you can enjoy the Pieterpad, the most famous long-distance walk in the Netherlands, but then by bike. This part of the Fietserspad takes you along stages 7, 8 and 9 of the Pieterpad.

Cycle along the edge of the water here and enjoy the beautiful view.
Fortified town of Coevorden
From here you cycle further to Dalerveen, Dalen and to Coevorden. Fortified city Coevorden is the oldest city in all of Drenthe. Around the year 1600 it was a prosperous trading city, but from the 19th century Coevorden became less and less important.
