Welcome!

Take part in the Kop van Drenthe GeoTour!

The Kop van Drenthe has a new activity in the region. It is an activity known around the world as geocaching. What makes our GeoTour special is that it has been developed to make the local stories from around the region more tangible. The storylines are: Diversity of the Landscape, Colonies of Benevolence, Vrouw Lebbe, Girl of Yde, Berend Botje, Origin of Assen and TT (past stories). There are 7 to 10 caches hidden locally for each story, and these can be found using GPS coordinates. Do you want to begin right away?
