If you're looking for a place that's off the beaten path, Assen is it.

But there's more to Assen than just motorbikes. The city is surrounded by forests and nature reserves, and it's a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. There's also a lot of history in Assen. The city was founded in the 10th century, and there are plenty of historic buildings and churches to explore. And if you're a fan of Dutch culture, you'll be happy to know that Assen is the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh.
