A day with a lot of variety. First you visit the provincial capital of Assen, still a large village, with monumental buildings, plenty of shops and a beautiful museum on the Brink. Heading east you come to Rolde and in the Gieten forestry you can take the Boomkroonpad. After the Dolmen Museum of Borger you cross the forests of Exloo. You will dine in an authentic farm inn in Valthe, 3 km away.
