Dog Swimming Pond in Veluwe

Highlight • Lake

Your four-legged friend can cool off in the dog swimming pond. Make sure that your dog does not leave the pond on the other side, because this is a vulnerable nature reserve.

Text / info
The benches on this hill refer to the place where the ladies of the 'de Keijenberg' house drank tea under an arbour of lime trees. The lime trees stood in a semicircle and were pruned in such a way that they formed a canopy. The now silted-up pool was a pond and the view around it was unobstructed in the 19th century, there were few trees. Around 1850, on the other side of the stream valley, there was a large wooden tea pavilion with two floors and a thatched roof. The dome stood on the eastern corner of the intersection of the Waterweg and the Europalaan and was first mentioned in 1845 and was demolished before 1875. From this high edge, the unobstructed view over the stream valley with the four still functioning watermills on the Hartenseweg must have been beautiful. It was a status symbol to have a dome at a country estate. Tea pavilions were always in places with a beautiful view, but also often in such a way that one could be seen oneself. No images are known of either the tea pavilion or the linden tree arbor. This information board shows an example of a tea pavilion. ©2012 Cultuurland Media, Wapenveld

poetry stone De Beken Estate

Highlight • Monument

Initiator Erik Jansen of Probos knows from a book by Paulus Nijhoff from 1820 about the existence of the original stone. It contained a Latin poem by the Amsterdammer Jeronimo de Bosch (1740-1811). He was a prominent poet at the time.
Jansen has discovered that the original stone was made by order of Cornelis Munter. He owned the De Beken estate, as the area was then called. Jansen suspects on the basis of the lines of poetry that the stone was made to commemorate De Munter's sister, who died in 1803. According to him, it was also made especially for this place.
The replica that is now installed weighs 1380 kilograms. The text is placed on an aluminum plate. Bronze or copper is too sensitive to theft.
