We ebike visit several times a year during different seasons and picnic on the beautiful grounds or in the surrounding forest, it's only a short ride. It is very peaceful and calming. Run the URL link through Google translate and follow some of the other links on the page. Check out the drone video, we'll done.

Checking out the source of the 'Boven Slinge' river, which starts about 20 kms from Ukatani, around Winterswijk in the Achterhoek.  The Slinge here is just a natural creek, by the time it gets close to us it is canalised dammed and flood controlled. An old water mill on the Slinge Letting the creeks flow naturally, no bridge or culvert drain, just let it flood.
