A beautiful nature reserve. The Reest is the border river between Drenthe and Overijssel. Slowly flowing and meandering, the Reest carries its water from Drogter Storage near Dedemsvaart to Meppel. The valley has its own character and cannot really be compared with the other stream valleys in Drenthe. In fact, De Reest strings together estates, heathlands, forests, stream valley grasslands and atmospheric farms, like pearls on a chain.

Feels like primeval landscape, alternating forest, heath, fens. Some paths rise and fall a little, that makes it fun.
