3 National Parks in Drenthe
The three national parks are the crown jewels of the countryside in Drenthe. National Park Dwingelderveld is the largest wet heathland of Western-Europe. It’s a stunning area filled with nostalgia and the heath is still managed by shepherds with flocks of sheep.
The National Park Drents-Friese Wold is just as beautiful, but definitely very different. Here you’ll find forest, more forest and even more forest. This vast area is a hikers paradise and borders Friesland.
National Beek and Esdorpenlandschappark De Drentsche Aa is a magnificent example of man and nature in perfect harmony. Agriculture has helped shape this area over the past centuries, resulting in a pretty bocage full of meandering brooks, farms, meadows and characteristic Angerdorf villages.
