It’s the week of summer vacation. It can now be celebrated in Drenthe too.
At the Hof van Saksen holiday park in Nooitgedacht it was already quite full on Monday. “We are 90 to 95 percent full,” says general manager Eric van der Heijden. After two corona years, the foreigners manage to find the park again.
Nitrogen, meanwhile, continues to occupy the minds. Farmers protested again this week at the provincial government house. But this time without tractors. Well with something sweet. They come to treat the States members to breakfast. One of those farmers is Wiljo Hepping, an arable farmer in Nieuweroord. He discovered that the Mantingerzand is less sensitive to nitrogen than previously thought. The province adjusts the data accordingly.
In addition, it was 80 years ago this week that the first transport left from Camp Westerbork to Auschwitz. Relatives, Holocaust survivors and, among others, State Secretary Maarten van Ooijen came to the former camp Westerbork to commemorate this and the many transports that followed.
