The beautiful forest is interrupted by an open moor with a fen, the Ganzenpoel. Scottish highlanders graze in the water on hot days.

Nice views. Part of the LAW Drenthepad. Follow the red/yellow signs.

In itself a nice walk, but with a few problems. A recent fence appears to have been installed at the end of point 3. The route description is therefore no longer correct. To be solved by following the fence to the right (partly off road), you will arrive at the intended bench.
At the moment it is so wet that the detour at point 2 is not possible. That is no problem, just walk straight on at the grass intersection under 1, then you will get back on the route.
More problematic is the problem at 6, where you have to cross the asphalt road at the wire. Even then you come across unavoidable pee that you cannot ignore. The only thing to do is to go right on the asphalt road and back to the tree bench at the concrete path under 3.
Alternatively, follow the asphalt road to the left towards Wateren. At the end of the road turn right and then at Wateren 6 onto the klinkerweg to the parking lot. But that is not very attractive.
Back to the concrete path does mean a somewhat longer route.
