Quiet getaways in Drenthe – away from the crowds

Not everyone seeks crowded attractions or full terraces during a vacation. In fact, more and more guests are coming to Drenthe to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Rest, space and nature are central here. From Bungalowpark Boerhaarsveld you will effortlessly discover quiet places where you can experience the province at its most relaxed.

🌲 Hiking areas where silence is still natural

Drenthe has many well-known natural areas, but it is precisely the less visited places that make a deep impression. Think of the Geeserstroom area, where you walk along streams, wooded banks and open fields without large streams of visitors. Also the Ellertsveld near Schoonoord is a beautiful area for a quiet walk, especially on weekdays or in the early morning.

From the park you can also walk directly into the forest or take the Pieterpad on. Here you can set your own pace and enjoy the silence that makes Drenthe so special.

🪑 Small museums and culture at your own pace

If you want to combine culture with tranquility, Drenthe is the place to be. The Open Air Museum Ellert and Brammert offers plenty of space and overview, allowing you to look around quietly even on busier days. In Orvelte, a monumental village a short distance away, you will walk past old farms, craft stores and small exhibitions, without mass tourism.

These spots are ideal for guests who want to see and learn something, but do not want to stand in long queues.

🌾 Brink villages and rural break spots

Drenthe is known for its brink villages, where time seems to stand still. Villages such as Gees, Anloo and Noord-Sleen lend themselves perfectly to a short walk and a cup of coffee on a quiet terrace. Especially outside the high season, it is pleasantly quiet and personal here.

Combine a village visit with a short hike or bike ride and you have a relaxing day without a rush.

🏖 Nature and water, but quietly

Instead of crowded recreational lakes, there are smaller, natural places in Drenthe where tranquility prevails. Think of quiet little fens in the woods or swimming lakes where you will meet mostly locals. Early in the morning or later in the day, these spots are often almost deserted.
