Next walk: Zuidlaren to Rolde, 16km
On Saturday June 21 JC has his birthday & housewarming party.
It looks as if we'll be visiting him on Saturday, then going on to Zuidlaren to overnight.
Next morning Sunday June 22 we'll leave bright and early on the walk to Rolde.
We still have to work out a few details: overnight B&B, will Milan come along this time as well, how do we get back home from Rolde in the afternoon?
From Zuidlaren, we'll be leaving the Hondsrug, walking through the valley of the Drentsche Aa. First Gasteren, a typical little Drents village, then we'll be walking through the Balloërveld and ending up in Rolde where we'll have a look at two well preserved Hunnebedden before going home.
Interesting things to see on the way:
The Balloërveld used to be a military exercise area, it's a plateau between the streams Loonerdiep and Rolderdiep. It was farmed in the prehistory (Celtic fields) and you can still see the remnants of wagon trails of the middle ages (this was a main trade route to Groningen).
A grave hill in the Balloërveld called Galgenberg (gallows hill, guess why...). The history of this place goes back a very very long time and has not been fully investigated.
Rolde Hunebedden and here too
