Herberg De Hondsrug is situated among forests and a lot of scenic beauty, such as the five star nature reserve of the valley (Stroomdal) of the Drentsche Aa River. Here you will still find half of all the types of plants and flowers that can be found in the Netherlands. On the other side you will come across the Hunze River, which has been restored to its former state.
The Hondsrug is an area that offers a lot of options for tourists. There are many kilometres worth of cycling, hiking, skating and mountain biking trails set out and only recently there were 6 routes set out especially for electric wheelchairs through our beautiful green municipality Aa en Hunze.
This is also the place to be for golf, as we are centrally located among the golf courses in Assen, Glimmen, Veendam and Gasselte. There are also a lot of sights well worth visiting, such as the commemorative monument Kamp Westerbork, the Planetron in Dwingeloo, the zoo Noorder Dierenpark in Emmen, Drents museum in Assen, Groninger Museum, the dolmen information centre (Hunebedcentrum) in Borger, the motor race track of the TT-circuit in Assen or the Boomkroonpad in Drouwen. There are also a lot of different options for children, such as the Verkeerspark (fun park with a traffic theme) in Assen, Sprookjeshof (small theme park, inspired by fairy tales) in Zuidlaren, Kabouterland (gnome land) in Exloo, the toy museum in Roden and the covered fun park Speelstad Oranje.
