The Drents heideschaap is the oldest sheep breed in Western Europe, according to the Dutch Breeders' Association "het Drents Heideschaap". Migrants probably brought the breed from France to the Netherlands, where it has been present since 4000 BC, particularly in Drenthe. Characteristics of the Drents heideschaap are a slender build, a long woolly tail that can reach beyond the hocks, stiff and somewhat sleek wool, dull hair on the head and legs and a straight nose. All kinds of colours are possible, but colourful black and white animals are not recognised. The breed is divided into the old and the new type. The new type originated from crossbreeding with the Schoonebeker heideschaap and has, among other things, a more curved nose and smaller horns. Most modern Drentse heideschaap are of the new type. Flocks can be found in the Dwingelderveld National Park, with a sheepfold outside Ruinen and in Dwingeloo. On the Holtingerveld between Havelte and Uffelte, the Holtinger Sheep Flock Foundation has about 400-600 sheep of the Drents Heideschaap in a herded flock on the heath. At night, these sheep stay in the sheepfold. Drentse Heideschapen also graze on the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park, located between Holten and Nijverdal. Several flocks with a total of 1600 sheep graze on this largest heathland in Western Europe. The shepherd uses the sheepfold located in the Twilhaar area near the Paltheweg. The Sallandse Heuvelrug Sheep Flock Foundation facilitates the buildings and maintenance of the Twilhaar enclave. Because the flocks often graze too far from the fold, they spend the night within a fence.

The Sterrenbos is very special. It is a round forest in the shape of a cartwheel with 8 spokes. In the middle is a chapel, so that working outside and praying could still go together. It can already be recognized on a topographical map from 1899.
