There are grocery stores, bars, restaurants and even an award-winning bakery within walking distance. And nearby there are museums, forests, bird sanctuaries, walking paths, cycle trails, fun parks and lots of opportunities for discovering the beauty and history of the Drenthe, Overijssel and Friesland regions. Come and visit the real Netherlands.
