Veluwe has already been an inhabited area in prehistoric times. The many burial mounds, also on the estate, bear witness to this. By the way, the name Quadenoord has nothing to do with 'evil' but comes from the 'Quades', a nomadic Germanic tribe that traveled through Europe at the beginning of our era.

Text/Info
Bosbeek
Sprengenbeeken are cultural-historical monuments with a high natural and landscape value. Sprengenbeeken were dug by hand by humans in the period between 1600 and 1800. They supplied (water) energy to drive watermills. A sprengenbeek originates at a sprengenkop. This is a source dug down to the groundwater. The groundwater bubbles up here. Due to the natural difference in height on the Veluwe, the water flowed down and a stream was created. The Bosbeek is a sprengenbeek. Because the Bosbeek is located at the transition between the dry Veluwe and wet floodplains, this offers many opportunities for nature. The stream forms an excellent connecting zone between these two areas. The alternation between water, forest, heathland and meadows in the stream valley is attractive to many different plants and animals.
