Rondje Boekelo: stops of the steam train

Boekelo was still called Bokel in 1450. The name would mean Beukenbos. Today they know the bookeltje here as a tasty herbal liqueur. You also walk past Boekelo MBS: you can take a break here. Take a look at the Museum Buurtspoorweg, which owns old steam and diesel trains. Historic locomotives drive from station to station on narrow gauge railways, if you like you can take a ride to the Zoutindustrie stop and pick up this route again. The largest salt factory in the Netherlands once stood here! The name of the village was on all the salt bags and kegs.
