Fantastic MTB route (blue) over Drents-Friese Wold and Leggelderveld, child-friendly. Highly recommended!

Combined with the short route, it was great. Well-maintained, it was wet, but it had everything. Forest, heath. Not much elevation gain. Since a lot of white sand was added in places, you have to do it in the summer when it's dry. Thumbs up.
