Walking route Sprokkelspoor
Follow the winding trail of the Drentse wood ant, the sprokkel, and discover the wild side of the Hart van Drenthe. Experience the silence, the wildness and the magic of nature. The paths can change course if it rains for a long time or as a result of a fallen tree. So take good, waterproof shoes into …

The Sprokkelspoor in Grolloo. Read a lot about it and heard a lot about it. And when it is almost in the backyard, just take a look. I have to say, although the nature is of course beautiful, I found the route a bit mwah... a lot of fallen trees still on the path, which sometimes makes it a bit …

Super fun route. A lot of challenge, you have to be good on your feet. Too bad the last stones with the route ants were gone so unfortunately the last part could not walk completely as it should be.

South of Grolloo lies the peat area. Lots of swamp. You have to walk on a boardwalk regularly. A very special area. Beautiful colours. Recommended.

Nice sneak-through crawl-through route. Very wet in some parts. So regularly have to deviate from the route. Again if it has been dry for a longer period of time.
