It consists of the cultural landscape surrounding the valley of the small river the Drentsche Aa. The landscape is currently in approximately the same as it was in the mid 19th century, as the agricultural landscape reforms of the 20th century were not implemented in this area. Because of this hedges, heathlands and traditionally managed fields ('essen' in Dutch) were spared from transformation.
