Route Summary
As the name suggests, a tour through the Ommelanden. This is the 5th in a series of 43 Endangered ANWB routes. These have been published in the Promotors between April 2015 and September 2016.
My 5th review of a route that I did not make and did not drive (yet). I checked all route points and placed them neatly on the road. I have also set the starting point and end point of the route a bit further apart to avoid navigating directly to the end point. At rp27 you have the opportunity to take a picture with the Oil and Grain Mill Woldzigt. Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.

RouteXpert Review
The Ommelanden route runs for an important part through the Westerkwartier, the western region of the three Ommelanden. The southern part of this area is a closed landscape with hedgerows. The northern part of the route leads through the valley of the Reitdiep, an open agricultural landscape with Wierdendorpen. The Reitdiep, the natural waterway to the sea, ends in the Lauwersmeer area, which is an eldorado for birds.
The dyke landscape between Grijpskerk and Zoutkamp offers beautiful views of the values, the land that has been conquered on the Lauwerszee. Roads meander beautifully along farms with rich planting, mills and secluded with beautiful gardens. On the way we regularly encounter Wierden, artificial hills that were raised by the first inhabitants of this area to protect the sea.
Wierdendorpen are always a bit elevated in the landscape, with the church prominent in the middle. (Source: Promoter No. 07-2016).
