Strubben–Kniphorstbos

The Strubben–Kniphorstbos is a nature reserve of 377 hectares, located between Anloo and Schipborg in the Dutch province of Drenthe.

The park's composite name is derived from the 'stubby' oaks in the area, and by Gerrit Kniphorst [nl], who was in the 19th century the owner of the then heathlands.

In 2006 the area was placed under the administration of Staatsbosbeheer and designated as an archaeological national monument.

The layout of the forest was then managed according to the landscape approach, taking into account the historical land use in different periods.

The province of Drenthe is rich in archaeological remains of the funnelbeaker culture, with 54 extant dolmens, of which two (D7 and D8) are within the boundaries of the reserve.
