The road was built on the initiative of the Ruinerwold city council, without the involvement of doctor Larij. And those pear trees, which were planted on the advice of landscape architect A. Schuilenberg from Assen. This is how the pear trees came to the doctor Larijweg.

The hundreds of pear trees are here thanks to the physician of Ruinerwold, Hendrik Larij (Dordrecht 1881 – Ruinerwold 1955). When the road was constructed in 1928, the street was planted with two thousand pear trees on his initiative. The idea behind this was to distribute the pears among the poor people of the local population, so that they would be provided with enough vitamins in this way. The reason the street was named after Larij.

Both the blossoming period and the pear harvest attract many visitors to Ruinerwold. These days, the pears are no longer for poor families, but are sold by auction during a pear tree auction. Those present bid on a lot, after which the highest bidder has until midnight of the same day to pick the pears. The next day, the trees are for everyone again.
