Hiking

Along the road from Emmen to Erm, in the Noordbargerbos, is the largest boulder in Drenthe, called the 'Dikste Stien.' This imposing boulder weighs at least 55,000 kilos. The Noordbargerbos is a relatively young forest located in a beautiful nature reserve.

Hiking

The ice of the Saale glaciation brought boulders of all shapes and sizes from Scandinavia to Drenthe. The largest boulder in Drenthe lies along the road from Emmen to Erm in the Noordbargerbos forest. The "Thickest Stien" must weigh at least 55,000 kilos. The Noordbargerbos is a relatively young forest in a beautiful nature reserve.
