Ermeloの天然記念物・トップ20

On the Noorderheide heathland near Vierhouten, three landmarks made of boulders can be found: the Daniel George Pyramid (D.G. Pyramid), the Miesje Pyramid, and the Peter Paul Pyramid (P.P. Pyramid). Along with the now-lost Victoria Pyramid, they were part of the estate of Daniel George van Beuningen (owned by the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum). In 1935, he constructed ingenious waterworks here, consisting of brick gutters, ponds, and a pumping station to pump water and supply the streams. The three remaining pyramids have been restored by volunteers.

Simply because it is very beautiful.

The castle has changed its appearance in many ways over the centuries. The current building dates from 1905 and was built by Herman Theodore s'Jacob, the scion of a noble family. His father Frederik Bernhard was mayor of Rotterdam and his grandfather was governor of the Dutch East Indies. The architecture goes back to older styles, but the interior still contains features of the Art Nouveau style that was popular at the time. The rest of the estate is still largely intact and the castle garden has also been restored with honor.

Before 1830, the Beekhuizerzand was part of a large quicksand area. Between 1880 and 1930, it was planted with pine trees on a large scale, especially to prevent dusting. It was also used as a military training area and opened for recreation from 1963. In 2004, many fly pines were felled and the top layer removed from the ground, so that it has become a real quicksand area where the destructible sand has been released again. The area is grazed by sheep.

Very scenic dune area

Yes, what should you say? Simply enjoy the beautiful running strips and the view. The Netherlands can be really beautiful!

The Kootwijkerzand is a unique nature reserve. With approximately 700 hectares, it is the largest drifting sand area in Western Europe. Characteristic of this area are the irregularly shaped pine trees that alternate between the sand and form hills. The sandy plain not only looks like a mini Sahara: the temperatures are also comparable. The temperature can rise to 60 degrees Celsius, while the night temperature can also drop below 0 degrees in summer. Be sure to stop at the lookout tower to view this impressive area from above. On a clear day you can see Radio Kootwijk in the distance.
