This round takes you through the Achterhoek bocage landscape around Winterswijk, a region that has been designated a Valuable Cultural Landscape. The semi-open landscape is adorned by small plots and large ash trees. You cycle through bushes, avenues and hedgerows and along meandering streams in narrow valleys. Beautiful, old farms and small hamlets are scattered across the country. Typical for this region are the so-called Scholtehoeves: the former residences of the influential Scholte farmers. Your ride starts at the Hilgelo recreation area. The area is part of the Winterswijk National Landscape, an area of almost 22,000 hectares in total. It is used for numerous outdoor and water sports. At Meddo you cycle past the Molen van Sellink (hull/remainder). This stone belt mill was built in 1873, but burned down in 1933. Only the stone hull remains, and it is now used as storage space.'t Walien is a former manor near Winterswijk. The name Waly or Walyen first appears in documents from 1340. At the beginning of the 19th century it consisted of a rectangular, white-plastered country house, canals, gardens, orchards and a number of farmyards. After a renovation in 1905, Huize Walien was known as a stately, white-plastered mansion, with a wide sidewalk and a large landing at the front. The front of the house was decorated with a tower clock with a bell dome. In a fire in 1908, the house completely burned down. All that remains is a piece of the west wall with eight family coats of arms, part of the moat and a few outbuildings.
