The “Dwingelderveld” is a nature reserve near the scenic town Dwingeloo. Many hiking and cycling opportunities; famous for the Radio Telescope, the moor, the herds of sheep and very specific wildlife. We started our hike at the parking near Lhee; ‘Achter het Zaand’ and used the bird watching cabin next to the Davidsplassen as our destination. Not a circular route as we were aiming to watch and photograph see adders (snakes) and various types of dragon flies. Enjoyable route, taking you along the sheepfold, the Radio Telescope, the moors, ancient burial hills etc.
Easy going and not critical as far as footwear is concerned but if you want to avoid being stuck to the cycling path (tarmac) sandy or muddy depending on the weather. It’s a popular area, so avoid busy days e.g. weekends.
