A unique experience

Hiking in the Drents-Friese Wold offers a unique experience thanks to its diverse landscapes and well-marked trails. Here are three beautiful hiking trails that you should not miss:

Kraaiheide Walking Route (6 km): This route takes you through the wooded area of Berkenheuvel estate, where you have the chance to encounter wild Sayaguesa cattle. The quiet trail offers a mix of forest and heathland, with the occasional impressive courtship call of the black woodpecker. A relatively quiet walk where you can experience the beauty of nature in peace and quiet.

Hoekenbrink Walking Route (4.5 km): This is a short but varied route through the moorland, exploring sand dunes and forests. Along the way you may encounter Scottish Highlanders, often grazing undisturbed in the landscape. This walk offers varied landscapes and, especially in autumn, the sun harps through the trees give the forest a magical atmosphere.

.

Great Forest and Dune Route (10 km): This is one of the longer and more impressive routes in the Drents-Friese Wold. You start through dense forests, pass purple moors and eventually reach the Kale Dunes, a rare shifting sand area. The watchtower at the Kale Duinen offers a beautiful panoramic view of the area. This route gives an in-depth impression of the park and introduces you to the vast landscape and unspoiled nature.

Each route offers a different view of the diverse ecosystem of the Drents-Friese Wold, making it an ideal destination for hikers who love variety.
