Nature and surroundings

The heezeberg estate is located on the outskirts of the village of Diever in Drenthe. It lies between Assen and Meppel. The nature house is about 10 min. walking distance from this picturesque village. Diever is known for its summer markets and for the annual Shakespeare plays in the open-air theater within walking distance of the nature house. The surrounding woodlands and meadows are breeding and habitat for numerous species of birds and small mammals. Remains of burial mounds from the Tjonger culture (about 10,000yrs B.C.) were found on the property and in the surrounding area. You will also find a pingoruin and a badger sett. In the immediate vicinity is a dolmen. The estate borders the National Park Drents-Friese Wold, one of the largest and most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands with 6000 hectares of forest, heath and stream valley grasslands. The National Park Dwingelderveld is also nearby. Here you can enjoy cycling and the forest ranger will gladly take you on an exciting walk. Also visit WILDLANDS Emmen.

    The nature around the cottage is beautiful, the cottage is right next to the forest in which we spent hours walking. Totally top!

    Good! Quiet location, edge of village and forest. With some luck you can see deer walking; a buzzard flies over; a woodpecker rumbles on a tree and goldfinches and swallows fly over the fields.We enjoyed. Cottage is also fine with a baby by the way because of the washing machine and baby bed.

    Wonderful beautiful cottage, in the middle of nature. We had a great time together here. Delicious on the terrace at the cottage where you hear many birds, squirrels see. And during a walk with our dog even see deer jumping. Fine cottage fully equipped. Fun games available including a shuffleboard A wonderful place to go back again, even in other seasons, it seems to us very nice to be there.
