Two friends, Toos and Bertje, devised and walked the Pieterpad between 1978 and 1983. A long-distance walking route (500 km) from Pieterburen in northern Groningen to Sint-Pietersberg in southern Limburg in 26 stages that are easily accessible by public transport and where you can stay overnight. The scenery along the way is hugely varied, but equally beautiful everywhere. Where you can walk, you can also cycle, and we wouldn't be Efita Cycling if we didn't map out some beautiful cycling tours for you inspired by the Pieterpad. We made several routes of almost 1300 km in total along all the places of the Pieterpad. In loops, so you always return to your starting point. This part takes you from Hellendoorn to Holten, straight across the Sallandse Heuvelrug. Nijverdal lies on the border of the Sallandse Heuvelrug. In the visitor centre, you can learn all about the origin and future of this beautiful nature area. There is also an observatory at the visitor centre. Very nice to visit when it's open, to view the universe from one of the darkest places in the Netherlands! The village of Holten had its own castle in the fourteenth century: De Waerdenborgh. The foundations of it can still be found, the castle itself was demolished in the sixteenth century. In Holten, you will also find the Nature Museum Holterberg, here you learn all about the surroundings with lifelike prepared birds and mammals in their natural environment. Do you also enjoy the Pieterpad routes so much? There are many more parts to discover.
