Cycle route: Nature and Culture in Two Provinces
Diever, Noordwolde, Vledder
What could be more perfect than a day out combining nature and culture? You will find it all on this route. Cycle for kilometres through the beautiful Drents Friese Wold National Park. Climb the Doldersummerveld observation tower to admire this impressive nature reserve from above and enjoy the great diversity of flora and fauna. Today you might spot a Sayguesa cattle or, less unusually, a deer, stoat or squirrel. The Drents Friese Wold is full of unusual mammals, but the forest, meadow and marsh birds with their characteristic songs are also a delight for the eyes and ears. After you have fully enjoyed all the natural beauty, it is time to immerse yourself in the rich culture of this region. Cycle through the rural surroundings of Noordwolde, Wilhelminaoord, Diever and Vledder and choose from the museums we have selected. Today, why not stop at the National Wicker Museum, which highlights the rich history of the rattan industry in the region? Or how about the Museum for Fake Art in Vledder, where you can see fake works of art and learn the stories behind them? Every museum on this route has something unique to offer. It is impossible to visit them all in one day, so feel free to save the others for the next time you cycle this route!
