Dogs in the Drents-Friese Woldâ
The Drents-Friese Wold has a great many walking routes. Dogs can’t run free everywhere, to protect the many vulnerable (ground-)nesting birds, young deer and the grazing flocks of sheep and herds of cattle. Want to take your dog to an off-leash area? This map shows where they are and how far they are from your cabin.â
Whatâs on the map?â
-
The seven off-leash areas, each with a short description and where to park
-
Our cabins in Wateren, Doldersum and Oude Willem
-
Walks on the leash, such as on the Wapserveld
-
Where dogs are not allowed, and why
-
The Natte neuzen route (‘wet noses’ trail) and the swimming pond for dogs by the Canadameer
The map works well on your phone, so you can open it on the go. It is available in Dutch, German and English.â


Out and about with your dogâ
The map shows at a glance where your dog can run free, where it must stay on a leash and where dogs are not allowed. Choose your cabin and you’ll see straight away which off-leash areas are closest.
Outside the off-leash areas, keep your dog on a leash. Signs on site always apply.â
