A hunebed, the historic Brink van Diever, the forests of the Drents-Friese Wold and Shakespeare. You will experience it all on this versatile route!

Schultehuis
At Landhotel & Restaurant Diever you can enjoy a coffee before you walk to your first point of interest: Hunebed D52, situated in an idyllic spot. On the way to Diever you will see some beautiful thatched farms. At the Brink you can still experience the atmosphere of days gone by. Here you can see, among other things, the Schultehuis, which dates from 1604. The house has been preserved in its original state. The Sint-Pancratius Church is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Drenthe.

Shakespeare theatre
From De Brink you will regularly see information boards about the history of the Shakespeare theatre, about the actors who have performed here and about the plays that have been performed since 1946. That makes your walk through the beautiful landscape even more interesting! In the TIP on the Bosweg, an exhibition has been set up with, among other things, stage costumes. At the Hezenes you pass the Shakespeare theater itself. You walk back through the woods to Landhotel & Restaurant Diever.

The Shakespeare Theater is an open-air theater. The theater can seat 1000 visitors. In 2014, the stage was temporarily placed in the middle of the theater on a trial basis, so that the game takes place between the visitors and the contact between players and visitors becomes more intensive. The new stage set-up went so well that at the end of 2015 it was decided to build the stage permanently in the middle of the theater.
