Hiking

In the 19th century, orphans could go to this orphanage in Veenhuizen. In the years before, so-called 'anti-socials' were already allowed to move into the house, to work hard and get their lives back on track. Poor people were also given shelter earlier and in 1824 the first orphans arrived.
