The ancient history of the Berkelland

The Berkelland is a region around Borculo and Eibergen. The soil here has been paved for centuries, so you will now find a cozy ash landscape with old hedgerows and lovely water streams. It is wonderfully quiet here to cycle on car-free roads. Just outside Eibergen you can get off for a delicious meal at Hof van Eckberge. On the Slinge you will pass the Lebbenbrugge Farm Museum, a medieval farm that even played a role in the peace negotiations in Münster, when it was a kind of post office. A little later you drive through the Beekvliet Estate and pass the point where the Slinge flows into the Berkel. Just before Eibergen you pass the Mallumse Mill from 1748. The route ends with a snack and drink at Grand Café De Klok Patisserie.
