Exloo – Borger
Stage 15
The Hondsrugpad then leads to Exloo, an ash village which is idyllically situated between fields and forest.
Order the 2nd edition of the Hünenweg hiking guide from Conrad Stein Verlag. On 127 pages you will find detailed information about your hike from Osnabrück to Groningen.
Shortly before you reach the village, you will walk along the Molenveld, a remnant of the once extensive heaths that surrounded Exloo. Around 200 Drenthe heath sheep from the village's sheepfold graze on the heath.
After the forests of Exloo, you will come to the village of Borger, also known as the "megalithic capital" of the Netherlands, where you will find the country's largest megalithic grave. Do you have some time? Then pay a visit to the Hunebedcentrum Museum, where you can learn all about the Ice Ages and those who built the megalithic graves in an entertaining way.
