In the past, without chemicals, she also got laundry clean and shone in glorious white. It was just more stressful than today.

Hiking

Nowadays, the Weißer Vennbach flows quietly through the Tiergarten in Velen. Where today walkers seek relaxation, there used to be a lot of activity. Hard work was required to get clean linen. Most women washed and bleached their laundry there. An information board reminds of this work, which reminds of the historical bleaching.
