General
Hoogeveen is a 'green' airfield in the northeast of the Netherlands, between Zwolle and Groningen. Apart from the usual light aircraft and gliders, the airfield hosts a number of flying oldtimers. Additionally, restoration and overhaul of historic airplanes is carried out at this aerodrome.
Layout
All the buildings are located near the entrance and good views exist from the airfield restaurant and its terrace. South of the grass runway, a separate grass strip is used by the gliders. Hoogeveen still sports the friendly, open atmosphere of light aviation. Access to hangar areas can easily be obtained by asking. The new Vliegveldweg runs right along the southern perimeter.
Getting There
From Hoogeveen train station, the walk to the airfield takes approximately 20 minutes. Alternatives are taxis or rental bikes. For drivers, two motorways conveniently intersect at Hoogeveen and it is only minutes to the airfield via the N374 or the "Weg om de Oost".
