Cycling around Coevorden - Dutch cycle routes

The landscape in South Drenthe has a rural character and consists mainly of lush grasslands and fertile croplands. Yet there are countless fragmented woodlands and natural areas for plenty of variety in this unique peat landscape. This route takes you through the nature reserve of Dalerpeel, through the country estate De Klencke in the stream valley of the Drostendiep and through idyllic villages with characteristic Saxon farms such as Gees, Oosterhesselen and Dalen.
