About Emmerhout
Where to stay in Emmerhout
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Lodging decisions here run through Emmen, which carries the beds the neighbourhood does not. A room in the parent city leaves the two burial-mound terrains of Emmerhout within a short outing, and it spares a traveller the search for rooms in streets laid out for housing rather than for visitors. Emmerhout keeps no hotel row.
The same coded sites, D46 and D47, appear on its register as well, so a single base in Emmen covers every entry the neighbourhood offers.
About Emmerhout
What are the main landmarks in Emmerhout?
Burial mounds dominate the list. One recorded terrain holds seven of them and another thirteen, and beside those two sites the register kept for Emmerhout carries only the coded entries D46 and D47. Dutch names them plainly: Terrein met zeven grafheuvels and Terrein met dertien grafheuvels.
Beyond the mounds and those two codes, Emmerhout adds nothing. Emmen holds whatever else a visit wants, because the inventory attached to this neighbourhood begins and ends with burial ground and two coded designations.
What is the history of Emmerhout?
Emmen never dated the quarter's founding. Two burial-mound terrains are what the register does preserve, one of seven mounds and one of thirteen, which places human use of this ground well ahead of the housing that carries the Emmerhout name. D46 and D47 belong to the same short inventory.
Emmen accounts for the administrative side, and Emmerhout appears as one of that city's named divisions in Drenthe rather than as a settlement with a charter of its own.
Where is Emmerhout?
Emmerhout takes up part of Emmen in Drenthe, its ground carrying two burial-mound terrains alongside the coded D46 and D47.
