Aa en Hunze

The municipality spans across 278 square kilometers of land, featuring rivers, forests, and fields throughout the northeastern part of Drenthe province.

Aa en Hunze municipality emerged through the administrative merger of several smaller communities on January 1, 1998, with Gieten designated as its capital.

The municipality derives its name from two rivers flowing through the region: the Drentsche Aa and the Hunze, reflecting its connection to water.

Residents and visitors rely on extensive bus networks for transportation, as the municipality does not have direct railway connections within its boundaries.

The territory maintains a population density of 92 people per square kilometer, preserving substantial natural spaces across its 276 square kilometers of land.
