Cycling through old Drenthe

In Drenthe you can still experience the atmosphere of times gone by. Especially if you cycle through the Drentsche Aa National Landscape. You also drive a bit along the banks of the Zuidlaardermeer.

Drenthe Aa
After a night's stay at Camping Meerwijck you will have plenty of energy again. That's good, today a beautiful trip through the National Landscape of the Drentsche Aa awaits you. Where almost every other area in the Netherlands was overhauled, people took the landscape here as it was, so that it has hardly changed in 150 years. You cycle on low-traffic roads through a backdrop of grasslands, bushes, hedgerows and heaths. To enjoy!

Saxon farms
You pass through Annen, which was voted the nicest village in Drenthe in 2013. In the middle of this village you will find the largest grass green in Europe. There are some beautiful old buildings on this green, such as Saxon farms. Further along the road you pass on the left something characteristic of Drenthe: hunebed D9. You drive back to Camping Meerwijck through the valley of the Hunze and along the Zuidlaardermeer.
