Holiday apartment in Wezuperbrug: Nature, Routes and Culture

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Wezuperbrug, choose a location on the Oranjekanaal where landscapes, outdoor experiences and regional history come together in one travel plan. Your choice of accommodation can depend on whether, above all, you want to hike, stay active or discover cultural destinations in the surrounding area during your holiday.

Holiday apartment in Wezuperbrug between the canal and the landscape

Wezuperbrug is situated on the Oranjekanaal. Sleenerzand is a 1,600-hectare sub-area of Zuidoost-Drenthe; the areas in Zuidoost-Drenthe are freely accessible all year round. The ’t Kuierpadtien campsite and bungalow park borders the Sleenerzand forestry. This forestry is located in the vicinity of Wezuperbrug and complements the landscape around the village.

Two routes offer different perspectives for walks and hikes. The Wezuperbrug–De Kiel hiking route leads through old cultivated land with planted forests, as well as remaining heathland and peat lakes. The Wezup–Wezuperbrug hiking route leads through old cultivated areas, pastureland and forests to the bridge over the Oranjekanaal. When planning your day, you can therefore choose between different landscape impressions.

Traces of the canal’s history

The Wezuperbrug bridge over the Oranjekanaal was opened in 1861. The Wezuperbrug–De Kiel hiking route also includes a work of art based on characteristic Drenthe boulders. The work of art Le Pont Perdu by Joost Barbiers recalls the former role of the Oranjekanaal as a shipping route. Nature, the structure and art each therefore have their own place in exploring the village.

Outdoor experiences for active days

Molecaten Outdoor Drenthe has a large climbing park in Wezuperbrug and offers day trips featuring this and other outdoor activities. Wezuperbrug also has an artificial ski slope. These two attractions represent different forms of active leisure and can play a role when planning a trip with varied interests.

Cultural destinations in the wider area

You will also find several excursion themes outside the immediate village landscape. The Hunebedcentrum Museum and the historic Westerbork transit camp site are located in the vicinity of Wezuperbrug. In the wider regional area are Kasteel van Coevorden Castle and Fort Van Galenschans / Poepenhemeltje. The Schoonloo, Odoorn and Grolloo forestries are also located in the vicinity of Wezuperbrug.

When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore decide in advance which of these village and landscape themes should shape your stay. The two hiking routes, the offerings of Molecaten Outdoor Drenthe, the Oranjekanaal with its historical traces and the cultural destinations in the surrounding area provide various starting points, without every day of your holiday having to look the same. This keeps Wezuperbrug open to travel planning between nature, activity and history.
