Westerbork - Orvelte | 10 km
This route has been compiled by Abdij de Westerburcht on the basis of the walking junction map of Midden-Drenthe.
You start with the junction network that helps you on your way and guides you past the shops of Westerbork. In the Reijntjesbos you start with the 'red signs' route that goes through a lot of green nature. You will also end up in the Museum Village Orvelte where you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. This village really takes you back in time! Then the road continues on the basis of the red signs that eventually turn into a network of walking junctions. A wonderful quiet route of about 10 km. Below you can read the details of the walking route.
