This is the yellow route of Boswachterij Odoorn. Dogs are not allowed on a large part of the route, not even on a leash! A nice open and varied route.

A beautiful route over heathland and through the woods. With the tower as icing on the cake. What a view!

Nice walking, climbing and eating at Pools Hoogte. Went a bit wrong. (chatting 😂😂)

Nice walk from the parking lot at restaurant "Pools Hoogte" near Odoorn. With a lookout tower, which really pays off, to walk up and enjoy the view over the wooded area.
The walk went largely over the moors, now and then a piece of forest. And it was totally worth it. Just beautiful...😄👍
