You can explore Drenthe on foot just like Vincent did. We have created four special walking routes. They take you past places where Vincent left his footprints 140 years ago.
Discover the routes
If you want to be well prepared before you set out, start your walk at a visitor centre. Here you’ll find all the necessary information about the nature reserves and the Natural Parks. There are plenty of fun activities for children and you can also participate in guided excursions or take a tour with a forester.
The largest uninterrupted wet heath in the Netherlands. Experience true peace and quiet, meet the sheep that roam the area and visit idyllic traditional villages.
The Drents-Friese Wold is one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. Walk or cycle through 6,000 acres of forest, heath, sand drifts, and stream valleys.
The beautiful stream Drentsche Aa meanders through the landscape. Meet the biggest flock of sheep in Drenthe and enjoy the characteristic Drenthe hospitality in local villages.
A single day in Drenthe is fun, but too short. So why not consider staying the night? Whether you are looking for a remote holiday cottage, a campsite or a cosy bed & breakfast, you’re sure to find the perfect place to sleep in Drenthe. The next morning, you’ll wake up well rested with nothing to keep you from spending another amazing day in Drenthe.
