    In recognition of his years of dedication and involvement with the Drentse Boermarken Association, Jan van der Struik unveiled his own boundary stone with information column on November 15th, together with King's Commissioner Jetta Klijnsma.

    Jan van der Struik was involved with the Drentse Boermarken Association as a board member for 43 years and was a driving force behind the "Border Stones Back in Place" project. This project is giving substance to this revaluation. The unveiling of the information panel at this boundary stone is part of this revival.

    Hiking

    In the past, heathland that was jointly owned by a number of farms was demarcated with walls, streams, trees or so-called marques. These were often boulders, wooden posts or stone posts made of Bentheimer sandstone. This was how they indicated the border with the neighbors' land. This worked well for centuries until the boundaries between two marks were wanted to be determined more precisely. Due to population growth, more people came to live there, which sometimes led to conflict situations. Around 1850 the marks were abolished and the markestones became redundant.
