RouteXpert Review
The route starts at the Avia gas station in Veendam, where we can refuel for this beautiful route.
Via Eexterzandvoort we dive into the National Park Drentsche Aa at Eext. The Nationaal beek- en esdorpenlandschap Drentsche Aa is a national park in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It was established on 4 December 2002 and covers over 100 km² with 16 villages and hamlets. At Zuidlaren known from the Zuidlaardermarkt we go towards Onnen. At Onnen we drive over the Railway yard of the NS via an iron viaduct, this is a beautiful photo opportunity. Then we drive back to the National Park Drentsche Aa and hold a short break in Zeegse. After old villages such as Oude Molen and Gasteren we pass through the Balloërveld. The Balloërveld is a hamlet and a 367 hectare measuring field in the municipality of Aa and Hunze, in the Dutch province of Drenthe. The heath field is located between Gasteren, Rolde en Loon. The Balloërveld owes its name to the nearby village of Balloo. Arrived in Grolloo who became known as the hometown of Harry "Cuby" Muskee and he was the singer of the blues band Cuby and the Blizzards. From Grolloo came the GP sidecar team Streuer and Schnieders. After Grolloo we drive through the Gasselterveld and arrive at our last break point Het Boomkroonpad. The outdoor center Boomkroonpad is a visitor center of Staatsbosbeheer in the province of Drenthe. The center is located in Drouwen along the N34 at Borger and is part of the Boswachterij Gieten-Borger. We drive further through Gasselte and continue via beautiful country roads towards Veendam. Arriving in Veendam is the end of our routes at Mulders Motoren.
