    A real nice national park.if you are there it feels like you are not in Holland. Discovering this place is best by bicycle. The bicycle path that crosses the field through the middle of dwingelderveld is just amazing to do. On the far right of the field there is a bird watch station. The bicycle trail that runs there is very beautiful. It was named most beautiful bicycle path in 2017. You can definitely cover the whole area by bike in day. This park is definitely worth a visit when you are around.

    I recently visited the Dutch province Drenthe, known for its history and unspoilt nature. You can hike in ancient forests, through heathlands, enjoy sunrises, learn about dolmens (hunebedden), visit local villages, spend the night in nature, enjoy great restaurants and visit the typical sheepfolds. 💜 If you are looking for a beautiful place in The Netherlands to relax and get away from the daily hustle. Then you definitely want to consider visiting Drenthe province. Enjoy the pictures

    Simply the best national park in Drenthe, and arguably one of the finest in the northern Netherlands! It offers a landscape of breathtaking beauty. Here, vast stretches of heather create a vibrant purple in late summer, while shimmering fens and quiet woodlands offer year-round wonder. Explore on foot, bicycle, or even horseback, and immerse yourself in this unique Dutch wilderness.

    Certainly one of the most beautiful places in the Netherlands. Wide open views and swampy lakes, next to forests and grazing sheep.

    (Translated by Google) Always nice for walking or cycling here. I keep discovering something new. A new view or a new path. A beautiful natural environment with always new experiences. (Original) Altijd mooi om hier te wandelen of fietsen. Telkens ontdek ik weer iets nieuws. Een nieuw uitzicht of een nieuw pad. Een mooie natuuromgeving met steeds nieuwe ervaringen.

    If you love nature then this one of the best nationaal parks in the Netherlands. I got alot of energy after walking there it's soo amazing to be there. It was nice and quiet so I saw alot of animals by for example butterfly I can even explain the feeling when you hear sounds of the birds singing.

    Great place for a walk

  • 5/5 Svetlana M. 4 months ago on Google • 45 reviews
    Beautiful place with many paths, good for hiking and biking. I encountered 3 deers and many different species of birds. The path through a swamp (white route) was not very long, but it's still very beautiful and relaxing to be there. This is a popular area so you most likely will see other people, but everyone was super friendly and happy. I'd recommend getting proper shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, as some path segments can be very wet and muddy. If you plan to bike, some paths may not be suitable for a city bike (because of deep puddles that are "sticky").

    Beautiful park to take a long or short walk. The woods are really quiet and amazing in summer time, and the heather with nothing but sky above makes for a most impressive view.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful area to ride with your horse. Not all routes and starting points are equally well marked, so that could be improved. (Original) Prachtige omgeving om in te rijden met je paard. Wel zijn niet alle routes en startpunten even goed aangegeven dus dat zou nog verbeterd kunnen worden.

    Amazing place to walk for hours and hours. Lot of trails available. Even nice place to bike. Though it's mention closed, it was still possible to access it. Bad that except for sheep's we couldn't see any animals. There is also forest around the marshlands.

  • 3/5 Jan P. 5 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately not the most interesting place to go for a walk: large parts are just dull pine forests. Presumably more suitable for a MTB ride.

    Great to see the sheep return to their stable in the afternoon.

  • 5/5 Patrick E. 2 years ago on Google
    A simply stunning national park- vast and empty spaces that are hard to find in the Netherlands, tranquil, with deep, natural forests. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Eric Wout van der S. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice forest with walking paths ranging from hardened and short (accessible for all) and soft and longer. A lodge has info about the area and offers some drinks and such.

    Nice area to relax and have a walk. There are several locations to park your car. Even some camping and caravan parks are located in the area. The area has a big diversity with trees and small lakes. Sometimes during the winter you can skate in them. Online you can find nice trails and locations of a cafe to have a nice drink.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful (different) varied area of ​​forest, heather and water that is also suitable for people with a physical disability. The sheepfold and the deck over a beautiful moorland really make it one of my favorite walking and photography areas (Original) Prachtig (ander) afwisselend gebied van bos, heide en water dat ook voor mensen met een lichamelijke beperking is geschikt.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful, extensive, varied and quiet National Park where you can walk, ride a horse, run, cycle and walk the dog. There is a lot to see: insects, plants, mushrooms, birds, heather, fens and forest. The largest inhabitants are the badgers, foxes, cows and sheep (three herds). Take the time to explore this beautiful area! (Original) Een prachtig, uitgestrekt, afwisselend en rustig Nationaal Park waarin je kunt wandelen, paardrijden, hardlopen, fietsen en de hond uitlaten. Er is van alles te zien: insecten, planten, paddenstoelen, vogels, heide, vennen en bos. De grootste bewoners zijn de dassen, vossen, koeien en schapen (drie kuddes). Neem de tijd om dit prachtige gebied te verkennen!

  • 4/5 Petra K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not all routes are equally special. We mainly saw a lot of fields, a little forest and minimal heathland. Paths are quite swampy and all paved paths are cycle paths. It does have a nice restaurant with a playground and a stall where you can get hot chocolate, pea soup and something to eat. It's a lot more fun by bike (Original) Niet alle routes zijn even speciaal. Wij zagen vooral veel akker, beetje bos en minimaal heidegebied. Paden flink drasserig en alle verharde paden zijn fietspaden. Wel een leuke horeca met speeltuintje en kraampje waar je hete choco, erwtensoep en wat te smullen kunt halen. Met de fiets is het een stuk leuker

    (Translated by Google) Nice and large nature park, great for walks, various arrowed routes, cycling, mountain biking and horse riding. A party all year round. The stray field with the sheepfold is fun for young and old. Dogs are allowed, provided they are kept on a leash. (Original) Leuk en groot natuurpark, prima voor wandelingen, diverse gepijlde routes, fietsen , mountainbiken en paardrijden. Het hele jaar door een feest. Het zwerfveld is met de schaapskooi leuk voor jong en oud. Honden mogen mee, mits aangelijnd.

  • 5/5 Shivas P. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice place for some walks with the dog ( mostly on the leash ) but not as impressive as De Hooge Veluwe for example. But it sure is the best spot for night sky watching.. a superb spot for that actually.

    (Translated by Google) The Dwingelerveld has a number of marked walking routes. There are 4 different routes to walk from Muscle, via the Boslounge car park or the Van der Valk car park. The forest walk of 5.5 km is indicated via white signs. The first half follows wide forest paths along forests and fens. The second half can be walked through narrow paths and ramps. Not suitable for pushchairs. This part is swampy and runs through wet heather fields. Very varied route. Wingelerveld is very well known so it is well visited. (Original) Het Dwingelerveld heeft een aantal gemarkeerde wandelroutes. Vanuit spier, via parkeerplaats boslounge, of parkeerplaats van der valk, zijn 4 diverse routes te lopen. De boswandeling gedaan van 5.5 km via witte bordjes aangegeven. De eerste helft gaat via brede bospaden langs bossen en vennen. De 2e helft is via smalle paden en vlonders te lopen. Niet geschikt voor wandelwagens. Dit deel is drassig en loopt via natte heide velden. Erg afwisselende route.Dwingelerveld is erg bekend dus druk bezocht.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful walking routes, car easy and free to park at the entrance. Different scenery to see. Water, hills, forest! Even with bad weather, it is quiet for walking. Only sometimes you walk on the muddy paths in wet weather. Good walking shoes recommended! (Original) Mooie wandelroutes, auto makkelijk en gratis te parkeren bij de ingang. Verschillende landschap te zien. Water, heuvels, bos! Ook al met slecht weer, is het rustig om te wandelen. Alleen loop je soms bij natte weer op de modderige paden. Goede wandelschoenen aan te raden!
