Description

Discover the surroundings of Dwingelderveld National Park and the Col-Du-Vam cycling route. A beautifully varied area for cycling.

Starting point: Pesse
The Blinkerd information center is located at one of the highest places in Drenthe. From here you have a beautiful panoramic view of the surroundings. In the information center you can delve into the origins of the landscape around the Oude Diep stream.

Dwingelderveld National Park
Dwingelderveld National Park is the largest wet heathland area in Western Europe. Wet lows and high sand ridges alternate in the vast Dwingelderveld. You will find heathland, forest, juniper groves, drifting sand and more than forty fens. Some of these fens were created during the Ice Age, others are the result of peat excavations. Thanks to the great variety in the Dwingelderveld, many plants and animals live there. In the spring you see white seas of peat fluff, in the summer the heather is endlessly purple and in the autumn the grasses give the area an orange glow. A beautiful area for cycling!

Col-Du-Vam cycle route
The Col-Du-Vam cycle route is a challenging cycle route at the highest point in Drenthe. There is a four-meter wide path with a length of 2,100 meters, divided over three climbing routes and an average gradient of 10 percent. The Col-Du-Vam cycle route is built on the former landfill.
