't Gasselterveld is a striking natural area located in the province of Drenthe in the northeastern Netherlands. At its heart is a former sand quarry that ceased active extraction in 2017 and has since transformed into a remarkably clear, blue-green lake surrounded by pine forests and heathland. The water's exceptional clarity and the white sandy shores give the site an almost tropical appearance that feels entirely out of place in the Dutch landscape — a quality that has made it a beloved destination for those who discover it. The lake sits along the Houtvester Jansenweg near the village of Gasselte and is accessible via a forest road.
