Drenthe ice cream
There is nothing like a cold scoop of ice cream on a sunny day. Or in spring, or even in autumn, ice cream just always tastes good. And it gets even better when it comes from the farm, made from daily fresh milk and combined with all kinds of flavours. You can go to these locations for a scoop or two, three, four:
- Play and Ice cream farm the Drentse Koe in Ruinerwold
- Hoeve Sonnaclaer in Fluitenberg
- Camping Kolderkamp in Kolderveen
While enjoying your ice cream, look out over the countryside, the cows or the fields around you. That way, a break tastes even better.
