Kale Jacob Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

At a height of 75 meters you will find the viewpoint "Kale Jacob", which refers to a bald head. Where the name Jacob comes from remains a mystery. Here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Lower Rhine valley and the hills of Veluwezoom, with a view of Didam and Doesburg. Along the path you can still see remnants of the past, from the time when the forests were bare and the soil overgrown with heather. Visit in mid-August to see the blooms of heather, which is visited by butterflies and bees in search of nectar.

Hettenheuvel

Highlight • Summit

The Hettenheuvel is the highest hill in the Montferland with a height of 91.6 meters. Fun fact: the Pieterpad also runs over the hill. The hill is completely covered with trees, both deciduous and coniferous.

North of the top, a viewpoint "Kale Jakob" has been created where you have a beautiful view towards the Veluwezoom.

On the hill you will also find an information board about the 'Rijksdriehoeksmeetpunt'. High points in the landscape, such as the Hettenheuvel, were measured relative to each other so that the landscape could be mapped.

Koch Bunker with Periscope (Bergherbos)

Highlight • Monument

Eight Kochbunkers can be found in the Bergherbos, which were built in haste at the end of the Second World War to defend the German Reich. One of these bunkers was made visible and accessible last year as part of the Interreg project 'View of past and present'.

The Kochbunkers in the Bergherbos were part of the Beek-Riegel; a defensive line that was slanted on 2 major lines. If the enemy broke through one of the main lines, he could be intercepted in the Beek-Riegel. The bunkers were intended to observe the environment.

This bunker is accessible to visitors and has recently been fitted with a periscope, so that you can explore the area. Fortunately, no longer to spot enemies...
