ドレンテの天然記念物・トップ20

The second-largest dolmen in the Netherlands can be found in Havelte. Dolmen D53 is the only dolmen damaged during the war. The German air force wanted to build an airfield at this location, so the stones were moved. The airfield was bombed to pieces, and the dolmen was excavated and reassembled. The dolmen is approximately 18 meters long, almost complete, and lies on the edge of a heathland. Along with dolmens D54 and D52, it is one of the few in this part of Drenthe. Dolmen D54 is slightly smaller than D53. It lies in the middle of a small sandy plain surrounded by grass. It is a beautiful walking area around these dolmens, as the small sandy plain is surrounded by heathland, small forests, and meadows. Dolmen D53 and D54 are a must-see on your dolmen tour because they are complete, well-maintained, and impressive. If you're coming from Havelte, you can follow the main road, which will take you past a side road. If you take this, the dolmen is almost immediately on your left. Continue driving a little further, and you'll find dolmen D54. Source: https://www.drenthe.nl/locaties/1800662783/hunebed-d53-en-d54-1

At the end of World War II, several Allied bombings were carried out over the German military airfield on Havelterberg. The numerous bomb craters, visible in the landscape as "round pools," are silent witnesses to this turbulent period. Source: https://www.drenthe.nl/locaties/4065299428/bomkrater

beautiful bike path

Beautiful area for cycling or walking

Great viewpoint The Dwingelerveld offers everything that makes cycling in Drenthe so great: forests, heaths, moors and beautiful cycle paths.

a surreal image of an industrial installation under construction, placed in the middle of the nature reserve Fochteloërveen. The contrast between the natural environment and the industrial elements creates a fascinating and alienating atmosphere.

Along the road to Gasteren and Oude Molen in the Gasterse Duinen lies the remote dolmen. The dolmen itself is no longer intact because some of the stones have been stolen, but it is still worth a visit. Especially in late summer the heather is in full bloom and it is wonderfully relaxing in the middle of the forest. This dolmen is easily accessible, there is a spacious parking lot. It is a freely accessible walking area, you only have to enter it via a cattle grid because a flock of sheep is grazing there.

Very special place on an active waste mountain. It's a beautiful ride to the top of the mount, but you have to endure the smell.
