The Linde route long

Hedgerows
In the area around Steenwijkerwold there are many wooded banks. Wooded banks are important for the landscape and ecology due to the large variety of plants and animals. The slope of the bank offers variation in wet/dry and warm/cold. The sunny side is then especially interesting for insects, amphibians and reptiles, the shady side for ferns and mosses. There are often species that hardly occur in the area outside the wooded banks, such as honeysuckle, periwinkle and dew nettle.

The Linde
In the disaster year 1672, the Lindelinie was constructed along the Linde to turn Bishop Bernhard van Galen of Münster, it ran from the Zwartendijksterschans west of Een to Slijkenburg. The remains of the Bekhofschans south of Oldeberkoop can still be found along the Linde. In defense of Friesland, the Linde valley was even flooded during the attack by Bernhard van Galen in 1672.

The Tjasker The Farm

The Tjasker De Hoeve is a polder mill near the village of De Hoeve, which is located in the Dutch municipality of Weststellingwerf. This operational pole tjasker was built in 1975 and placed near the water pipes of a duck decoy on the Oudvaart near Sneek. The mill was demolished and stored in 1980, but later replaced at its current location. The tjasker is a municipal monument.

The Eese
The first mention of the name De Eese dates from 1241 and appears in the personal name Bernard van de Eese. Around 1400, De Eese was a hamlet near an es. A number of residents later separated from this village and founded the village of Eesveen. In 1923, Herman van Karnebeek, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, bought the estate from Onnes van Nijenrode. Van Nijenrode had already started a farm on the estate and Van Karnebeek wanted to use this to further exploit De Eese.
