Description by the author

This route through the national streams and Esdorflandschaft Drentsche Aa takes you through the valley of the Drentsche Aa; one of the best-preserved meandering stream systems in the Netherlands. In Drenthe, the stream is named after the village it flows past. Only in the province of Groningen is the stream called Drentsche Aa.
You cannot miss meeting the Drenthe heath sheep when cycling or hiking near Balloerveld. A large herd grazes here. It is a pleasure to cycle along the water, heather, and sand drifts as well as over the many bridges in the valley. Not only the idyllic Esdörfer Anloo, Balloo, and Taarlo are worth a visit. Particularly the cozy Brinken of Zuidlaren and Rolde should also be visited.
This cycling tour (Drentsche Aa) of 39.5 kilometers takes you to varied highlights that have shaped Drenthe.
The route starts in Rolde (junction 73). Near the starting point, there are parking options at Koelandsdijk in Rolde.
