우스스텔링베르프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

The Blauwe Meer recreational lake is located within the Leggelderveld nature reserve, southeast of the village of Hoogersmilde. The lake is surrounded by trees and was created by sand extraction. The founder of the limestone factory chose this location because Hoogersmilde was easily accessible by boat. Moreover, there was no shortage of white sand. Because of the sand extraction, the Blauwe Meer is very deep. There is a small entrance fee for a day of swimming in the Blauwe Meer (members of Natuurmonumenten and children under 4 are free). Please note that cash is not accepted: only with your phone, using a QR code! Dogs are not permitted on the beach.

The white mar. Here is also the ice rink. Beautiful location with information board is present.

Take a walk on the water and enjoy the nature around you.

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.

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

It is beautiful here, very diverse nature and very relaxing ❤️

The lake was created in 1905 by sand-suction work by the Albino limestone factory. The water of the lake owes its color to the local glauconite found in the water. This is a mineral with a dark green color. Source: https://www.reisreport.nl/blauw-meer-in-drenthe/

Nice addition, this jetty. From the jetty you have a beautiful view over the fen and into the clear water.
