The legend goes there is a treasure hidden that is protected by the power of four. There are some clues on how to find it and even santa had something to do with it, but some say it's just a mystery of the mind. Can you find it?

According to the legend the treasure should be there where the power of the four forces comes together. The first point of the force is a sign marked ‘Ruiner schaapskudde’ that tells about the sheep. They protect the force by walking all over the field to keep the vegetation low. The second point tells about ‘Geschiedenis van de radio-astronomie’ and is located near the old research centre that monitors the incoming radio signals from space. They protect the force from anything that comes from outer space. Next point is located by the start of the blue 6 km trail marked ‘honden aan de lijn’ near roadmarker 2,4. All that is left there are piles of wood but the force can be sensed under the sign of Staatsbosbeheer with the info of the park. The last point of the force is where you can eat, drink and sit. It’s the ‘oriëntatiecentrum’ that protects the force by helping visitors explaining about the park. All these forces combined give you the exact marker of the treasure.

Two points are connected by road. If you are on foot you should not walk the road but walk through the forest.

Have fun and good luck!


The trail will take you to all nice places of the park. More on 'Nationaal Park Dwingelderveld' can be found here. The park in owned by Vereniging Natuurmonumenten and Staatbosbeheer.
If the sheep are out in the field they usually return around 17:00h.
