Mariënwaerdt gate entrance

Highlight • Monument

Heerlijkheid Mariënwaerdt is an extensive estate of approximately 900 hectares and has been in the hands of the Van Verschuer family since the 18th century. It has a rich history, which began in 1129 when the Mariënwaerdt Abbey was founded by Norbertine monks. The abbey has experienced several destructions, including during the Eighty Years' War. After the abbey was closed during the French occupation, the estate fell into private hands.

The Notenlaan is a well-known aspect of Mariënwaerdt. This long, stately avenue with nut trees on both sides is one of the beautiful access roads to the estate. It is a photogenic place, especially in spring and autumn.

Mariënwaerdt has developed over the years into a versatile estate. Organic farming is practiced, and the estate produces its own products, ranging from cheese to jam and biscuits, which are sold in the estate shop and elders. In addition, it is a popular location for events, including the annual Estate Fair, and offers various options for business meetings and weddings.

Visitors to Mariënwaerdt can enjoy the peace and nature, walk on the many paths, or visit the pancake house or one of the other eateries on the estate.

In short, Heerlijkheid Mariënwaerdt is a combination of historic charm, natural beauty and contemporary entrepreneurship in a beautiful part of the Dutch Betuwe.

Appeldijk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Appeldijk in the Betuwe is a must for blossom lovers. It is beautiful to cycle on this dike, which is largely closed to cars and motorcycles. Here you have plenty of space to enjoy the flowering trees. It is a popular spot in the spring, so take your time on this part of the route.

De Vlinder Mill, Deil

Highlight • Monument

Until 1913, there was a windmill mill along the river De Linge between Deil and Enspijk, which was destroyed by fire that year. The then miller G.J. De Heus then had a round stone scaffolding flour mill built, which was named “De Haas”.

This mill also burned down in March 1931 and was restored in the same year with parts from, among others, the mill from the village of Heukelum, which was then demolished. To make the strange hood fit, the hull and the roof were shortened by approximately 1.5 m and the attic layout was changed.

The grinding bins are now located in the former grain attic and the stones are in the scaffolding attic. During the 2001/2002 restoration, when the plaster layer on the inside of the hull was removed, the places where the beam layers of both the stone and the loft used to be located were found (the burnt beam heads were still in the wall!). After the restoration of the hull and the plasterwork, these places remained visible deep in the hull.

The mill was previously restored in 1961 and 1975.

Over the years, this beautifully situated mill became increasingly affected by vegetation, which clearly reduced its amenity value. In the spring of 2003, the surroundings of the mill were greatly improved by extensive pruning.

Owners were:
G.J. de Heus (1913 - 1932)
Capel and cons. (1932 - 1944)
Ms. H.P. Capel (1944 - 1955)
Deil Korenmolen Preservation Foundation (1955 - present)

Gravel path along the Linge with views of the windmill

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It is only a short piece, but certainly nice along the Linge with a view of the mill. Pay attention to the bend down, and you will come out on a B road.
