Car puzzle tour NO-Drenthe: 'Backyard of Groningen'

"WOW! You'd better have a backyard like that!" From Groningen's Onlanden to 'd Olle land of Drenthe

So begins the introduction to the car puzzle tour of north-eastern Drenthe: the 'Backyard of Groningen'.

Do you know the saying, "When it has rained in Drenthe, they have wet feet in Groningen"?

During this special car puzzle tour, it will become clear to you, what this saying had to do with.

The 'Backyard of Groningen' route in brief

Under the smoke of the city of Groningen, you will find a world that is truly different from everything else in the province of Groningen.

It is grand, wide, it goes from wet to dry, from low to high, and from peat to sand.

A magnificent, newly developed nature reserve flows smoothly into an ancient and more intimate landscape, with country estates and pretty villages. The nice thing is that it is not (yet) that touristy.

Along the way, you also come across special stories, e.g. about how former rich people from Drenthe and Groningen were intertwined, and that this was not always friendly. ;-)

** Highlights of the route include**:

• The Lookout Tower in De Onlanden
• Vosbergen country estate
• Monument Broken Circle
• Picturesque villages in the province of Drenthe
• Archaeological monuments
• Colony of Weldadigheid, UNESCO world heritage site.
