Cobbled section Schapendrift

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Schapendrift is a 'keienweg' (cobbled road) in the monumental village of Orvelte. Because of it's authenticity the village became somewhat of a museum village filled with old farms and indeed, cobbled roads. There are no cars allowed in the village, but there are a lot of hikers about, so no racing here. Slow your pace and enjoy the place!

The original church of Zweeloo dates back to the 13th century, but over the centuries the church has undergone several renovations and expansions. The building is built in Romanesque style with Gothic elements.

The church of Zweeloo has a characteristic gable roof tower that protrudes above the roof. The interior of the church contains some interesting period features, including a wooden pulpit from the 17th century and a baptismal font from the 13th century. In addition, there are some beautiful wall paintings to admire, which date from the 14th century.
