Description
Wonderful tour through the Veluwe forests, past special historical places. How beautiful the Netherlands is!
Copper mill
Soon we pass a beautiful spot: the Kopermolen, an overhead water mill that grinds on the Klaarbeek. This is also a paper mill. It probably dates from the eighteenth century. Before 1745, the mill was used to grind paper, after which the mill was used as a copper mill for shoeing ship hulls and coin plates.
Hidden Village
Via Epe you drive into the Nunspeet forests towards Vierhouten. With a bit of luck you might even see a deer darting into the woods! Just above the village you will pass the Monument to the Shot of Jews at the Hidden Village, a shelter for Jews during the Second World War. Dozens of Jews were hidden here in small huts - some of which have been reconstructed - but the village was eventually discovered. You drive back to Emst via the Elspeeter forest.
