National parks

In the vicinity of the Five Suites there is a lot of beautiful nature. There are several national parks such as the Drentse Aa and the Balloërveld.

The Drentse Aa is a fairytale setting where streams meander beautifully through the landscape. The views are a combination of magnificent nature and centuries-old Saxon farms. The Drentse Aa is the best-preserved stream and esdorpen landscape in Western Europe. There are hundreds of miles of biking and hiking trails, and opportunities to explore the area on horseback.

Drenthe landscapes are maintained naturally. This is easy to see on the Balloër field. Drenthe Heath Sheep are raised here in the traditional manner. Drentse heid sheep are a stubborn breed, so shepherds keep a close eye on them. It is great fun to watch shepherds together with their dogs keeping the sheep together. You can visit the shepherds daily.
