The tour starts in the characteristic moorland. The beautiful farms, the canals, the many pretty bridges, the villages bear witness to a glorious past.
Furthermore, the route winds south and north of the A7 through numerous memorable and picturesque places including Sappemeer, Noord- and Zuidbroek, Hellum, Woudbloem.
Before ending up in the Roegwold, or rugged swamp forest. Here, more than a thousand hectares of farmland were given back to nature early this century. Going through it is a feast for the eyes. A must is walking on water; on the Knuppelpad across Lake Dannemeer.
From the Roegwold, it is not far to the Schildmeer. On the way, you won't have the most captivating landscape, but you do drive past Europe's largest giant racer and past the farm of the high-profile TV series Hollands Hoop.
The architect-designed, newly built restaurant Kaap Steendam is beautifully situated on the Schildmeer. This is the final location of the car puzzle tour. With nice weather, it is a treat to sit on the waterside terrace and have a drink. This is also highly recommended for dinner.
