De Rips: Stippelberg

Description

Parking and departure are possible from the parking lot at the forest museum 'De Rips' at KP 75.

At the edge of the Ripse forests is a forest museum with theme panels under a canopy, authentically built from Rips wood. The theme panels illustrate how the area transformed from heathland to forest and how the village was formed.

Old newspaper photos show the reclamation process, initially with six oxen and later with huge steam plows, as an impressive scene. The expressive faces of the hard-working forest workers planting, cutting, and sawing trees tell a story of their own.

The panel on the construction of the first roads reveals the remote location of the area. The forest museum reveals the identity of the pioneers, rangers, and forest workers, the oldest house, and the fates of humans and forests during wartime.
