Here you clearly have a piece of wetlands.

Beautiful route through the Dwingelerveld. Excellent fitness path and lookouts across the field.

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

National Park Dwingelderveld is a vast nature reserve in Drenthe, known for its diverse landscapes of heathland, forests, fens and sand drifts. The park offers a rich flora and fauna, including rare birds and plants.

In this vast pond you will find many water lilies. A beautiful picture to admire while cycling by.

Dwingelderveld National Park consists of forest, heathland and drifting sand. The extensive nature gives a good impression of the old Drenthe esdorp landscape. Near the ash villages you will find authentic ash trees; old fields where mainly grain was grown in the past. The Dwingeloosche Heide and the Kraloërheide together form the largest contiguous wet heathland area in Northwest Europe. Various duck species are seen on the Holtveen and in the area you can find stonechats, among other things.

Unfortunately in March there are not many birds to see.

Welcome to the Dwingelderveld National Park! Did you know that this is the largest contiguous wet heathland area in Western Europe? It is actively maintained by no fewer than two flocks of sheep, who ensure that unwanted trees and grasses do not have a chance on the heath. Here, wet heathlands alternate with drier sandy ridges, resulting in a rich variety of plants and animals. In the moist parts, heath, peaty feathers and bell gentian grow, while the drier areas are dotted with common heather and mouse's ear. The humid zones are partly dependent on bubbling groundwater, where the yellow ashy and small lily thrive. It is home to numerous bird species, of which the stonechat, curlew and woodlark are just a few examples of the dozens of species that find their breeding grounds here in the extensive heathland.
