Local attractions

The site is in the Hondsrug part of the Drentic ridge, designated as a UNESCO geopark in 2013. Hiking and cycling are popular around the area's moors, sand drifts, forest and fens, and hundreds of kilometres of bike paths are around the Drenthe. If you're up for a day trip, drive along to the Drents-Friese Wold National Park 45 minutes away, one of the biggest preserved natural areas in the Netherlands. Bike paths snake all around the reserve's forests, heath and grassland; there are sands to stroll upon, and the park is teeming with wildlife including pine martens, adders and birds of prey. A 50-kilometre trail is set aside for mountain biking: ask for maps and info on this and other cycling trails in the park at the information centres in Appelscha and Diever. Drenthe is also known for its fishing: Braamsplas lake is two kilometres away, to fish for carp, roach, pike and perch.
