Strubben-Kniphorstbos

Netherlands

The Strubben–Kniphorstbos is a nature reserve of 377 hectares, located between Anloo and Schipborg in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is the only archaeological reserve in the Netherlands. The park's composite name is derived from the 'stubby' oaks in the area, and by Gerrit Kniphorst, who was in the 19th century the owner of the then heathlands. Beginning in 1938, the site was for the most part of the 20th century used as a military training ground.
