UNESCO Geopark de Hondsrug
De Hondsrug UNESCO Global Geopark is a unique cultural area in Europe. The landscape will enchant you with its many hunebeds that date back to the Ice Age. Rivers flowing underneath the ice created the hills and ridges in the landscape, hence the Dutch name, Hondsrug or ‘Dog’s back’. The ice also transported huge boulders to the area, which the Funnelbeaker people used to construct their hunebeds, the Netherland’s oldest monuments.
