Nederland - Dwingelderveld

Dwingelderveld is one of the about twenty national parks in the Netherlands and is the largest European wet heathland area. The national park - 3.700 hectares - has more than sixty fens and peat swamps featuring a rich and unique flora and fauna. The gently rolling moors and shifting sands are habitat of many kinds of species of butterflies and birds. The northern part has been wooded with pine forests and juniper shrubs since the mid 19th century. The national park is crossed by many hiking and biking trails, marked and unmarked, paved and unpaved.

Dwingelderveld is managed by the Dutch forestry Commission (Staatsbosbeheer) and the private Dutch society for nature conservation Natuurmonumenten. Since 1991 it is a national park and in 2013 the park was added to the List of Nature 2000, as part of the European Network of most valuable nature reserves of Europe.

Main picture and PiP’s are all taken along the so called Commissaris Cramerpad. This path - about 4 km’s long between Spier and Kraloo - was chosen in 2017 as the most beautiful bike path of the province of Drenthe. Having been there I only can agree.
