Wanneperveen is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 4 km west of Meppel.
Wanneperveen was a separate municipality until 1973, when it became a part of Brederwiede.[1] In 2001 Brederwiede was merged with nearby Steenwijk to form Steenwijkerland
Wanneperveen and the land around it sit right on the edge of Overijssel in a small pocket of land and, as such, are no more than fifteen kilometres from the borders of Friesland, Drenthe and Flevoland.
