You're standing at the Drents Museum in Assen, on the site of the former monastery of Maria in Campis. Have a look around: the old buildings of the monastery complex all belong to the museum. Since 2011, the entrance has been in the former coach house of the Drostenhuis. From there you head underground, through a passage, into the new museum wing.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
