Attractions and Places To See in Boswachterij Nunspeet - Top 20

Especially the bench; you can imagine why. It's a beautiful view, of course, but I mean the bench itself.

Nice place to find some peace.

Information about The Hidden Village https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Het_Verscholen_Dorp

The memorial stones on Tongerenseweg, just outside the village of Vierhouten, were erected in memory of eight Jews who did not survive the Het Verscholen Dorp – or Pas Opkamp – hiding camp. Six of them were shot at this location on October 31, 1944. The other two died on De Paasheuvel. The eight Jews had a hiding place in the hiding camp on Pas Opweg. From April 1943 to the end of October 1944, around eighty people stayed there. These included Jews, people who did not want to work in Germany, resistance fighters and English and American soldiers. Even a deserted German soldier and an escaped Russian prisoner of war stayed there. The camp was discovered by chance by two Landstürmers (a Bundeswehr unit). Most residents were able to escape. Eight Jews were captured and imprisoned in the basement of De Paasheuvel in Vierhouten. Kaatje Gompes-Schoonhoed (66 years old) died in the basement. Her husband Max Gompes (73 years old) was murdered while digging the grave on De Paasheuvel. The couple came from Arnhem. Back to camp: The other six Jews had to run back to the camp with a shovel to be shot. SD man Frankenstein (an Austrian) came up with this. The execution had to be carried out together with another SD member, the Belgian Van 'd Joos, and three land strikers (aged 42, 18 and 17). On the way there was panic and Frankenstein decided not to continue. Three pits were dug and the six Jews were shot. Finally a six year old boy. Be: • The Meijers family from Voorburg: father Arend Samuel Meijers (45 years old) and his son John Roedolf ​​​​​​(6 years old). Mother and daughter survived the war. • Hartog Speijer (59 years old) from Amsterdam. His wife and two children hid elsewhere and survived. source and auto. translated via Google: https://nunspeetuitdekunst.nl/nunspeetherdenkt/tongerenseweg/ See also :https://www.verscholendorpvierhouten.nl/ Personal note: The fact that adult civilians are murdered in war is terrible, but how can one sink so far, and six year old completely innocent children murdered I can't even express in words. Human beasts - disgusting and sickening. Shameful for the human species.

You walk this part over the beautiful heathland, where you can look a long way away and let your thoughts go. Also a nice place for a picnic or a short break during your walk. The heath is in bloom between mid-August and mid-September and then you can enjoy the lavender colors here.

On this beautiful sunny autumn day, this walk was beautiful!!! We had to adjust it because my partner started having problems with his ankle, especially going up and down hills. We were forced to look for a smooth road and it was here!! Very nice for us. But the best part is strolling along the hiking trails. I'm from Epe, but this part near Nunspeet was unexpectedly beautiful. A little busier, for example we participated in a small Clinic along the way with a group of older mountain bikers. Very funny. Then you can continue to the HulshorsterZand (a stage of the Zuiderzeepad). have fun everyone.

Very educational also for young people!

During the war there was a shelter here for people who would otherwise be deported, also called pass on beautiful places nunspeet vierhouten elspeet epe beautiful walking and cycling routes
