Tour of the Sallandse Heuvelrug: Eelerberg Estate

This route takes you from Recreational Company De Huttert to the Eelerberg, the northernmost peak of the Sallandse Heuvelrug in Overijssel. It is a special place to walk. And not just because of the views you have at open spaces. In 1847 an estate was founded here, almost twenty years later a country house was built that was used as a country estate by the then owner. Their arrival was quite an experience. Even before the summer season, carriages with household goods were driven to Eelerberg. When the owner drove up the driveway with his family, the children of the tenants welcomed them by waving flags. The family planted the forty-metre high hill with forest. The whimsical oaks, white birches and ancient juniper bushes give it a mysterious touch.
