슈프리엘더보쉬‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 천연기념물

A very interesting arboretum, a great starting point for walks. There are nice restaurants and cafes nearby. The small museum "De 10 Malen" next door is definitely worth a visit.

A completely new work of art has recently been delivered as additional information about the centre of the Netherlands. This is a scale replica of a map of the Netherlands in steel.

Very beautiful artistic carving.

Just a “wow effect” when you pass by!

You will find several burial mounds in the area, including this one. The burial mounds are actually a bit similar to our gravestones. Larger burial mounds often indicate a family grave or the grave of an important person. Did you know that from the objects found in the graves we have learned a lot about how the earliest inhabitants of this region must have lived?

The center of gravity of the mainland area of the Netherlands. In 1984, geologist Frank Storbeck calculated that the center of gravity was in Putten. He digitized the edges of the Netherlands and the inland waterways and calculated the center of gravity of the mainland using the computer. Storbeck did this on behalf of the theater maker Harrie Hageman, who had set himself the goal of organizing a funny happening about the discovery of the center of gravity in the Netherlands. [1]Hageman had an iron ring anchored to a boulder in the ground at the calculated location. This monument was unveiled with the words “Lift the Netherlands by this ring and no one will notice.” The ring with stone was lifted and kidnapped in 2007 as part of a New Year's Eve stunt. Kadaster recalculated the point for an episode of the television show Het Klokhuis in 2016. They then arrived at a location in the municipality of Ermelo. [2]But this was mainly because this calculation also included land that dries up at low tide. The found center then shifts through the Wadden Sea in the north. If you calculate the center based on the high water mark, you get to about 2 km from the top of Storbeck. The difference can be partly explained by calculation uncertainties, as Storbeck calculated it partly manually, but the exact location found also depends on the definitions used, boundary changes and coastline changes.

Special wood carvings along the Medusa cycle path. Straight from Greek mythology. Don't look at her ;-)
