Duurswold and Roegwold
Cycling in a vast landscape with reed swamps, peat lakes, forests and herb-rich grasslands.
The Landscape
In Duurswold, you can enjoy peace and space in a vast landscape with green meadows and meandering waterways. The landscape is intersected by canals and ditches, resulting in a unique pattern of waterways and dikes. This gives the area a characteristic appearance with charming villages and farms that blend harmoniously with the surroundings. Additionally, Duurswold accommodates the young and extensive nature area called 't Roegwold. Old and new nature have been combined in a contiguous and diverse area where you can recreate and enjoy nature. Where vast peat bogs and marsh forests used to dominate the landscape, the area is now mainly characterized by a landscape with reed marshes, peat ponds, forests, and herb-filled grasslands.
