Rogat
Rogat
Rogat is a small hamlet in the Dutch province of Drenthe, part of the municipality of Meppel and situated about 5 km east of Meppel on the Hoogeveensche Vaart. First mentioned in 1725 as Rogatschut, the name is said to mean "chimney."
The settlement contains around 40 houses and has partially developed into an industrial area.
For boaters traveling the Hoogeveensche Vaart — a relatively wide, 29-kilometre canal that also carries commercial traffic — Rogat offers a small harbour that serves as a convenient stopping point.
The area is associated with an "Art on Land" initiative, which invites water sports enthusiasts to explore artworks along the shore.
