Who does not know the song by Ede Staal?

"T Binnen de meulens en de moaren. T Inside the churches and the börgen

T Is t laand woar I as a child. Not yet understood anything about pien or zörgen

That is my country my Hogelaand.

T Is n doevetil n dörpsstroat, T Is n olde bakery

T Inside the big farmsteads, Van Waarvum Oskerd so noar Mij

T Is the wind t is the hoaver, T Is t koolzoad in the blui

T Is the horizon bie Roanum, Flat after a thunderstorm

That is my country my Hogelaand".

The Hogeland is the land of small villages and towns with pretty names like Noordpolderzijl, Stitswerd, Doodstil, Kleine Huisjes, Usquert and Baflo.

Anyone who used to be a lover of those delightful regional novels to dream away at will probably recognise the atmosphere: an intense life of hard work on the farm, togetherness, wonderful romantic stories, all on the vast fields of Het Hogeland.

Experience this beautiful country, put on the music of Ede Staal while driving and go home with a head full of impressions.

Hogeland; one-day package

On the date you booked, drive to the starting location of the 'Hogeland' route. That is at the straw hotel Hayema Heerd, and is located between the villages of Den Ham and Oldehove. If you ordered the route with route book, pick up the route book here.

Before heading out, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with a treat. If you like, it is possible to look around the Hayema Heerd to see what "sleeping in straw" looks like in this straw hotel.

For the road, you will be given a richly filled packed lunch to put in the car.

The route takes you along narrow, winding roads and dykes and then again along a long, straight road with endless views. You drive through the villages with all those special names and you reach the smallest tidal harbour in the Netherlands, Noordpolderzijl, over the former Wadden dyke. That is a must-see. If the weather is clear, you can see so far out here, over sea and land.

Via the stately town of Usquert, to Rottum with its beautiful monastery story, the journey eventually continues to Baflo.

Along the way, you will come across various locations to have a drink or something to eat. In e.g. Baflo, Leens, Winsum, Onderdendam you will find suggestions for nice, as well as good restaurants, to perhaps end your day.
