Coevorden

This as a result of a municipal reorganization, where five municipalities merged into one. The municipality comprises the city and former fortress of Coevorden and a few dozen rural villages that offer attractive living environments, such as Dalen, Sleen, Oosterhesselen, Zweeloo, Aalden and Schoonoord. The municipality is 300 square kilometer in size and has a population of approximately 36,000. The region is ideal for sports and recreational activities, or for simply relaxing at one of the first-rate recreational parks in the area. The varied landscape of Drenthe is excellently suited for bicycling, with numerous routes that take you past historical Saxon farmhouses, flocks of sheep and megalithic tombs. It is therefore no wonder that 1.5 million overnight stays are booked in the area every year! For more touristic information you can consult the website of Tourist Info Coevorden.
