Round Harskamp

Your route starts at Camping Huttopia de Veluwe. Visit the Hist in Harskamp. Collection of Infantry Shooting Camp Harskamp. The shooting camp is over 100 years old. Hundreds of thousands of professional and conscript soldiers have learned to shoot here. In 1918 the Harskamp Riots broke out here against the poor economic conditions at the time. These riots even sparked an attempted revolution in the Netherlands, but it did not get off the ground. In 1945, part of the camp was used as a prisoner of war camp for members of the Dutch SS troops. Just past Harskamp later you pass the Lana Mariana, a flour mill from 1739 of which no one knows the origin of the striking, almost romantic-sounding name. The mill is now used as a home.
