    Remnants of the Hooge Hoenderberg estate, the driveway and pond are still present, and nature has taken over.

    Some background information, especially about the large stones that are present.

    The founder of the De Hooge Hoenderberg estate, P.J.M. van Stokkum, was a stone merchant. He let in
    1922 30,000 kg of boulders from the Black Forest and the Fichtelgebirge. The biggest stone of
    6,000 kg, a so-called 'findling', has been used as a poem stone for the Cave at the railway bridge.
    Some stones have been used as a kind of entrance stones with the name 'Landgoed De Hooge'
    Hoenderberg' and others have been used as name stones to name forest roads and trails
    indicate. Examples of this are the Sanatoriumweg, Holle Weg, Marialaan and Hoekweg. At the sale
    of the vast majority of the estate to Natuurmonumenten, later handed over to
    State Forestry, the stones have been moved to the part of the estate that remained in the possession of Van
    Stockkum. A number of stones have recently been placed back in locations where they logically stood
    can have or where they can be better suited. In addition, in a number of stones the texts
    chiseled again.
