Car puzzle tour in Westerwolde 'Nature paradise between two ramps'

Do you know what the northern Netherlands' best-kept secret is and why this region was so popular with previous rulers?

We will tell you all about it on the 'Nature paradise between two bulwarks' route.

The area where you will ride was part of the defence line in the 80-year war against the Spaniards. The two former entrenchments Oudeschans and Bourtange bear witness to this.

Touring through this picturesque border region is an adventure anyway. It is full of stories about old fortresses and castles, about heroic deeds and smugglers. In the northern part, you experience the rich influences of the Grain Republic. Gradually, it turns into an ancient landscape with old espalier villages, where rivers meander, the land bulges and undulates, and the hay meadows are full of flowers.

By the way, did you know that the fortified town of Bourtange is now also known worldwide? That's thanks to entry in the top-10 'The world's most beautiful villages', according to leading magazine Forbes? Another reason to book this route.

At the end of this beautiful tour, you will stop inside the gates of the famous fortified town. You can visit the museum and settle down on a terrace and process all your impressions of this adventure day.
