Description

Go back in time in the fortified village of Bourtange! You will also discover the beautiful valley of the Ruiten Aa, a stream that has regained its original meanders.

Diamonds aa
From here you can walk straight into the valley of the Ruiten Aa: a variety of convex fields, hay meadows, bushes and hedgerows. In the spring the stream valley turns yellow because of the many marsh marigolds, then it is absolutely beautiful.

Bourtange
The Ruiten Aa forms the backbone of the beautiful tranquil Westerwolde in Groningen. You turn off the beautiful stream valley to discover another beautiful place: Bourtange, the highlight of the region. Here you really go back in time, because this fortified village looks about the same as it did in 1742. William of Orange had the fortress built in the sixteenth century to liberate Groningen from Spanish hands. A beautiful place!
