November 29, 2023,Wandeling Poolshoogte - Schapenpark. Boswachterij Odoorn. Drenthe.

Nice varied walk through the Odoorn forestry on the Hondsrug. Start from the P at Poolshoogte restaurant. With an immediate steep climb up the lookout tower and a beautiful view of the forest dressed in their last autumn adornment. With snow and bare trees here and there. Today was clearly autumn and winter in one. Delicious.
