Description

The village of Varsseveld has only six thousand inhabitants. This place was probably inhabited very early; finds were made in the area of reindeer hunters and settlements that traded with the Romans in Roman times. The name Wazovelde, the original name of Varsseveld, already appeared in a deed from 823. The Varsseveldsekoppen form a small-scale covering sand relief; small hills rise 1 to 5 meters above the surrounding area. Alternately and in lower areas you see meadows, while fields lie on the heads and deciduous and coniferous forests interrupt the landscape. On the way you will pass the Van Hal Mill (hull/remnant). The corn mill was built in 1866 on an elevation and is therefore a belt mill. The mill was named after the family who owned the mill until 1999. The round stone mill was heavily damaged during World War II. Part of the blades had already broken off after a lightning strike and the flour mill was dismantled in 1957. After the mill came under the management of Stichting Korenmolen Voorst in 1999, it was restored in 2010. In 2013, Van Hal's Mill is ready to grind again. You continue cycling and finally arrive in Varsseveld. One of the remnants of the village's rich history is De Engel windmill, built in 1850. In 1936, the contents of the mill, including grinding stones, blades and winding shaft, were sold because the owner at the time was out of business due to the economic crisis in the 1930s. literally) no longer saw any bread in the windmill business. In 1957 the mill hull became a monument and in'67 the municipality bought the remainder to enable a possible restoration of the mill. In the end, it was not until 1976 that the mill was festively reopened on May 22. In 2010, the mill was temporarily stopped because there were some cracks in the blades, but this problem was quickly remedied. Hotel Restaurant De Roode Leeuw is the base of this cycling tour, but also of cycling route 137320. If you want to enjoy the beautiful surroundings for two days, book a stay here. You can eat and sleep excellently at De Roode Leeuw, so this is a great location for a pleasant cycling weekend away.
