We often cycle there from Aschendorf. Beautiful nature. A little inconspicuous on the way is a small waterfall that you can walk under. You have to be careful, otherwise you'll ride right past it. There's a small sign.

The quarry lakes are located in a beautiful forest area. Wonderful paths lead around them. You can also swim in the quarry lakes in summer. Spacious meadows invite you to have a picnic (but clear away the rubbish).

9698 XV Wedde ROUTE At the foothills of the Drenther Hondsrug, near the German border, you will find the family campsite "Wedderbergen". The campsite is located in the 'green heart' of the Westerwolde area (southeast Groningen), surrounded by forests, waterways and a large recreational lake. During the school holidays, the campsite with its varied recreational program is an excellent holiday destination for families with children and teenagers. Outside the holiday season, it is popular with active campers and peace-loving seniors. The campsite is an ideal starting point for cycling, hiking, boat trips, fishing, cultural history, day trips, etc., literally without limits. Wedderbergen is therefore a real family campsite with great comfort, well-maintained sanitary facilities and many sports, play and recreation opportunities, as well as the rental of luxury chalets, camper cabins and tents.
