Ter Apel
The centre in
The Ter Apel Canal runs right through the village. Bordering this canal is a charming town centre with a wide variety of shops. There are a few national chains, but for the most part small, unique shops that lend the streetscape that essential ‘local flavour’. In the centre, all sorts of fun activities are organised regularly by the shopkeepers. There are also more than enough lovely spots in Ter Apel to enjoy a bite to eat and a drink.
Discover nature
Apart from the special monastery and a cosy shopping centre, Ter Apel is above all full of greenery. Around the monastery, for example, you will find the Kloosterbossen (monastery woods) with impressive old oaks and beeches. Through the dal van de Ruiten Aa, just outside the village, there are plenty of lovely routes for walking. Or discover the new routes: the Monks path and the shorter Moekespad. The paths lead you along the Moekesgat, through the woods and the centre of Ter Apel. In cooperation with entrepreneurs, there are fun promotions for those who walk the route, such as a packed lunch for 1 euro or a free second cup of coffee. You can pick up the route maps at the tourist information points in Westerwolde.
