The surroundings
Schoonloo lies in the heart of the Drentsche Aa National Park, surrounded by forests, heathland and fields. From the holiday home you can set out directly on walking and cycling routes. Drenthe is famous for its extensive network of trails, charming villages and historic sites such as the ancient megalithic tombs (hunebeds). Particularly worth mentioning are the large forest areas (Boswachterijen) nearby: Schoonloo, Grolloo–Hooghalen (known as the “Heart of Drenthe”), and Gieten–Borger on the Hondsrug ridge.
The region also offers plenty of leisure activities: swimming lakes, climbing and adventure parks, horse riding and cultural excursions. In Assen, the Drents Museum showcases unique archaeology and art, while in Emmen you can visit Wildlands Adventure Zoo. Quaint restaurants, cafés and ice cream parlours in surrounding towns such as Westerbork, Borger and Rolde complete the experience.
