Hiking
On the border of southwest Drenthe and southeast Friesland lies a unique area. The Drents-Friese Wold National Park is one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. In 2000, over 6,000 hectares of forest, heathland, drifting sand, and stream valley grasslands were designated as a National Park. The Drents-Friese Wold is among the most beautiful and important nature reserves in Europe and has therefore been designated a Natura 2000 area.
