Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view to see the sunset

Tip by

The boardwalk is still broken where the tree fell through it. But a tree further up has disappeared. However, the path is overgrown in places, e.g. by brambles. Be careful not to step off the boardwalks.

One of the most beautiful routes in Drenthe. Its in the area "het hart van drenthe" starting in Schoonloo/Grolloo. Parking is not too big, and during holiday season its wise to start early so you have parking space and do not walk like in a train with other people.
I didnt start so early so we had several people on …

For a change, I followed the wolf trail route again. This round together with a friend. This route remains very nice, adventurous and with sufficient variation.

Dogs nicely on long leashes so that they could roam and sniff around.
