Diever[where?] lies next to the Drents-Friese Wold, one of the major[clarification needed] national parks in the Netherlands, and a major attraction for tourists.[citation needed] In the centre of Diever there is the brink, a square with old buildings surrounding it. The Dutch Reformed Saint Pancratius-church is a 15th century building, and considered one of the most beautiful churches of Drenthe.
