This unique landscape is home to a rich variety of unusual flora and fauna. During a walk or bike ride, you might just come face to face with a flock of sheep, a particularly enchanting sight during lambing season. The park offers numerous challenging mountain bike tours and scenic hiking trails. Along the way, you can spot the rare plant species and birds that call this area home.

The dolmens at Havelte and Diever, both just over a fifteen-minute drive away, are impressive prehistoric burial monuments built by the people of the Funnel Beaker Culture. These ancient stones bear witness to a rich history and mysterious traditions. A visit to these monuments is like a trip back in time, where you can marvel at the skills and rituals of our ancestors. Surrounded by picturesque nature and tranquility, the dolmens are not only historical but also a visual treat. Exploring these areas offers a unique combination of nature, history and culture.

    After we were rebooked to a fresh accommodation (there was a gourmet smell i.c.m. smoke/nicotine) we had an excellent stay. The emergency accommodation was neat and clean. The earlier cottage was mwah in terms of cleanliness. Sticky handles and everything was on the floor. Fine small park with nice pool. Points that really need attention: the showers in the pool IJSKOUD and the floor was incredibly dirty in the changing rooms (lint, mud, hair etc.) This was not cleaned in between. And then the indoor playground. Our 2 little sons walked there with cold hands and blue lips. We as parents sat there wearing a winter coat + plus scarf. It was freezing cold!

    Nadat we waren om geboekt naar een frisse accomodatie (er hing een gourmetlucht i.c.m. rook/nicotine) hebben wij een prima verblijf gehad. De nood accomodatie was netjes en schoon. Het eerdere huisje was qua schoonmaak mwah. Plakkerige greepjes en er lag van alles op de vloer. Prima kleinschalig park met leuk zwembad. Punten die echt aandacht verdienen: de douches in het zwembad IJSKOUD en de vloer was ontzettend vies in de kleedruimtes (pluizen, modder, haren etc.) Dit werd niet tussentijds schoongemaakt. En dan de indoor speeltuin. Onze 2 zoontjes liepen er met koude handjes en blauwe lippen. Wij als ouders zaten er met een winterjas aan + plus sjaal. Het was er ijskoud!

    Nice park, in the middle of the beautiful nature of Drenthe. Has a small indoor pool, but you can also go to the large municipal outdoor pool. For the dogs there is a playground set up, and dog path across the park where there are also hanging bags and in the restaurant different snaeks for dogs for sale. Furthermore, plenty of things to do at the park, bouncy castle, animals, mini golf. The atmosphere there is welcoming and friendly.

    Mooi park, midden in de mooie natuur van Drenthe. Heeft een klein binnenzwembad, maar je kan ook naar het grote gemeente buiten zwembad. Voor de honden is er een speelveld ingericht, en hondenpad over het gehele park waar ook zakjes hangen en in het restaurant verschillende snaeks voor honden te koop. Verder van alles te doen op het park, springkussen, dieren, minigolf. De sfeer is er gastvrij en vriendelijk.

    Beautiful park suitable for children with good facilities like playgrounds, petting zoo, mini golf and swimming pools. Cottage was cleaned fine and were surprised at the dog trails and playground. Restaurant just got a new menu with burgers and schnitzels. Nice staff say attentive also at reception! Where there is also a small store where you can get the first basic groceries.

    Prachtig park geschikt voor kinderen met goede faciliteiten als speeltuinen, kinderboerderij, midgetgolf en zwembaden. Het huisje was prima schoongemaakt en waren verrast over de honden paden en speeltuin. Restaurant heeft net een nieuwe kaart met hamburgers en schnitzels. Aardig personeel zeg attent ook bij de receptie! Waar ook een klein winkeltje is waar je de eerste basis boodschappen kunt doen.

    Excellent cottage, Cube 6! Neat, clean, furnishings more than adequate. Strange that the park is on two sides of a main road. The catering does its best, but it is no more than canteen quality for catering prices. Either the prices down or the quality up it seems to me.

    this is a translation, click here for the original

    Prima huisje, Cube 6! Netjes, schoon, inrichting meer dan voldoende. Wel vreemd dat het park aan twee kanten van een doorgaande weg ligt. De horeca doet zijn best, maar het is niet meer dan kantinekwaliteit voor horecaprijzen. Of de prijzen naar beneden of de kwaliteit omhoog lijkt me.
