De kleine vesting Bourtange is prachtig gelegen in het Groningse landschap waar een fraai beeld geschetst wordt van het leven in vroegere tijden. De gebouwen (waaronder winkeltjes en horecagelegenheden) zijn mooi gerestaureerd en het dorpsplein heeft een gezellige uitstraling. Slapen en ontbijten in de vesting is een leuke ervaring en zeker een aanrader. Vooral erg leuk met mooi weer, maar ik kan me voorstellen dat het ook leuk kan zijn met minder weer.
