Drentsche Aa National Park

Drentsche Aa National Park is a protected cultural landscape in the Dutch provinces of Drenthe and Groningen, centering on the valley of the Drentsche Aa river. Established in 2002, the park covers approximately 100 square kilometers and represents one of the few remaining nearly intact river systems in the Netherlands. The landscape has remained virtually unchanged since the mid-19th century, as the agricultural consolidation reforms that transformed much of the Dutch countryside in the 20th century were never implemented here. This preservation has saved countless hedgerows, heathlands, and traditionally managed fields known as essen from destruction, making the area the best-preserved brook and esdorpen landscape in all of Western Europe. The park sits on the western side of the Hondsrug, a prominent ridge formed during the Saalien ice age that stretches for 70 kilometers through northern Netherlands.
