Tree Walks in Assen

Assen has 2 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 1.3 km to 1.44 km, past 8 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.

All of these stand in Assen, where we map 9 remarkable trees in total. Or walk somewhere else: Alicante · Alkmaar · Amersfoort · Amsterdam · Arnhem · Athens
