Water Management Dams on the Stream

Highlight • Structure

A nice example of water management. 4 dams in a row to regulate the water level in the ditch (I suspect). What a small country can be great at!

A beautiful fen in the grassland. If you are not afraid of mud, you can also walk well here.

"De Verrekijker", a former grain mill

Highlight • Monument

De Verrekijker is a former flour mill in Bergharen in the Dutch province of Gelderland. A mill was mentioned on the site of the current mill as early as 1313. The Binoculars were built on this site in 1904 after a predecessor burned down. The mill was taken out of service in 1962, after which the interior was demolished. In 1984 the mill was restored externally. The mill is now used as a holiday home. The rods of the mill have a length of 25.10 meters and are equipped with the Old Dutch fence with sails. Only the upper wheel is left of the movement. The mill is privately owned and the owners turn the blades of the mill from time to time.

Hernense Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Hernen belt mill is located on the other side of the highway and therefore feels out of place. The Hernen Mill dates from 1749 and is noticeable from afar. It is a belt corn mill. The "belt" comes from the small hill on which the mill appears to stand. It is, in fact, laid around it like a belt. Around 1969, a TV series about Knight Floris was made. The scenes featuring a mill were filmed at the Hernen mill. In episode 6, "De Vrijbrief" (The Letter of Freedom), soldiers are seen being tied to the sails and the mill is left turning.
The black-and-white (slightly brownish) photo is from 1974. The mill was in a dilapidated state at the time.

St. Judocus Church Hernen

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice point to immediately take several photos. Namely here at this statue, the stately St. Judocus Church and if you turn around, you will of course also take the beautiful castle Hernen with you.
