The ASTRON office is located about 3 kilometres from the village Dwingeloo. Dwingeloo is in the province of Drenthe in the northern of the Netherlands. ASTRON is situated next to the Dwingeloo Radio Telescope, which is maintained and operated by the CAMRAS foundation. ASTRON is located in the middle of the National Park ‘Dwingelderveld’, a pleasant wooded area with miles of cycle paths. It is an excellent, restful location for scientists and engineers from around the world to come and work. Apart from the village of Dwingeloo that is within biking distance, the nearest towns (with a railway station) are Beilen (about 15 km) and Hoogeveen (about 20 km).
