November 28, 2024,✨Hunebedden spotten in Nationaal Park Drentsche Aa - 🍂

How beautiful it is here: the Drentsche Aa! 🌿 Explored for the first time and immediately enchanted by this unique nature reserve. Spotted two dolmens myself, hidden in a landscape that seems to come straight out of a history book. ✨Enjoyed the vast forests and the quiet fens! Maybe you will even come across a flock of sheep like me …
