Paddling near Klazienaveen, Drenthe


Klazienaveen sits in the peat-canal landscape of southeastern Drenthe, where a grid of historic vaarten and diepen makes the area naturally suited to flatwater paddling. The Verlengde Hoogeveensche Vaart runs directly through the town, and the Oosterdiep lies close by — both typical of the straight, calm peat-extraction canals that define this corner of the province. Canoes and SUP boards are the natural fit for these quiet, sheltered waterways.
