Route Summary The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTocht (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. I have also, if necessary, set the starting point and end point of the route a little further apart to prevent navigation to the end point directly and added the POI files of the starting point and end point just like a possible stopping point.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
Thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review * The Hunnenkerkhof is an Iron Age burial ground near Oosterhesselen.
In 1871 the province of Drenthe obtained through a gift from Jhr. Van der Wijck of the De Klencke house, a part of a heathland south of Oosterhesselen that has long been known as the Hunnenkerkhof. In 1843 DH van der Scheer described the Hunnenkerkhof as an old cemetery with two large tumuli and many smaller raised heights, large 1 bunder 70 rods. He had some 'excavations' carried out, which resulted in cremation residues, charcoal and a few urns. In 1848 LJF Janssen mentions 10 round burial mounds and 42 square and elongated square beds.
Most of the cemetery has now disappeared, including the two major tumuli. In 1960 a number of trenches were dug in the remaining part of the burial field, which is still provincial property. This part appeared to consist of a group of hills surrounded by square and rectangular ditches; Because the ditches connect to each other, they form a kind of network. A few hills with ditches were reconstructed in 1975. The construction is similar to the grave field at Ruinen.
Winding through the Drenthe landscape you will arrive at De Driesprong in Gieterveen, time for coffee with something tasty. After coffee it continues along the meadows towards Glimmen, the northernmost point in the route, after which you descend towards Hooghalen. Just before the end point in Hooghalen you can visit the Camp Westerbork ** remembrance center.
** Camp Westerbork Remembrance Center is a museum where the history of Camp Westerbork is told. The museum is located on the Oosthalen road, about three kilometers from the former camp site. At the former camp site itself, motorized traffic and buildings are not allowed due to radio telescopes.
Because I have not (yet) driven this route myself, this route gets 3 stars.
