Great cycling here

Easy-to-ride cycle path along the canal.

The Freulevijver, located in the Oude Bos between Wijnjewoude and Bakkeveen, is an idyllic and historic place. The forest was created around 1880 by the noble family Lycklama à Nijeholt as a private park and production forest. The pond was created by a dike breach of the nearby Koningdiep, and was enlarged around 1900 by Jonkvrouw Eritia Lycklama à Nijeholt. Although the original tea house and boathouse have disappeared, the location remains a beautiful spot for a picnic, with a natural gazebo that is reminiscent of the former charm of the place.

What a beautiful area. Just after sunrise it is magical. The serene peace and the vast heathland... a new favorite place in Drenthe for me.

Lovely place to rest for a while, especially when the rhododendron is in bloom

Very interesting stop that refers to the origin of this boulder. Also nice to know that the boulder was originally 4 x as big.

The freule pond was created after a dike breach in nearby Koningsdiep. Maid E.E.R. Lycklama à Nijeholt had this 'wheel' enlarged around 1890. A tea house and a boat house were built along the shore, so that you could picnic and sail. Since then, the pond has been known as Freulevijver by the locals. The gazebo stands on the site of the former tea dome.

The freu pond is an old pingo ruin, bordered by birch, beech and mountain ash. The estate was built around 1880 by the Lycklama à Nijeholt family for wood production and the pond was part of the private park. The damsel enlarged the pond around 1900 and had a tea dome built so that her family and guests could linger there as well as boating.
