Drenthe Essentials
Drenthe is characterized by its ancient megalithic tombs, known as hunebedden, and its unique social history. This selection includes the UNESCO-listed Colonies of Benevolence at Veenhuizen and Frederiksoord, established in the 19th century to combat poverty. It features the somber WWII memorial site of Kamp Westerbork and the adjacent radio telescope array. Cultural highlights include the living museum villages of Orvelte and Ellert en Brammert, the historic Mensinge manor house, the modern Wildlands Adventure Zoo, and the internationally renowned TT Circuit Assen.
