The memorial to the crew of the Tennessee Toddy provides a specific historical point of interest in Beemte Broekland; named cycle routes and trails in the Weteringse Broek offer a different way to plan a trip. If you are considering Beemte Broekland as a place to stay, first think about whether cultural history or activities on foot and by bike should shape your stay.

The Tennessee Toddy memorial

The memorial in Beemte Broekland is an artistic replica of the tail section of a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber. It commemorates the crew members of the Tennessee Toddy, whose aircraft crashed near Beemte Broekland. This brings together a specifically named aircraft, its crew and the crash site in a concrete act of remembrance. For cultural trip planning, the memorial offers a clearly defined historical focus, distinct from the landscape-focused routes.

Church windows as a cultural detail

The Wilhelminakerk has stained-glass windows by Gerrit Bokhorst of Deventer. This architectural detail offers a different focus from the memorial: here, the windows and their artistic design take centre stage, while the memorial recalls the crew of the Tennessee Toddy. When weighing up cultural themes for your stay, you can distinguish between church art and local history.

Distinguishing cycle and walking routes

The Doortraproute Apeldoorn runs through Beemte Broekland and the cultural landscape around Wenum and Beemte. This gives your planning a specific cycling focus: a route through the village with a connection to the cultural landscape. You can use this route as a starting point if you would rather plan your trip around cycling and scenery than individual cultural topics.

There are numerous walking and cycling trails in the Weteringse Broek. The Holhorsterpad is a walking route through this nature area, running alongside the Apeldoorns Kanaal and the medieval Grift. Unlike the Doortraproute Apeldoorn, this is a walking route with two named waterways as its specific points of reference. This lets you weigh up a cycle route against a walking trail, and their different connections to places and landscapes, when planning your trip.

Road layout and orientation

The road layout also provides specific points of reference: the main road layout of Beemte Broekland forms a loop comprising Broeklanderweg and Beemterweg. This connects to the road alongside the Apeldoorns Kanaal. If you take the village layout into account in your planning, the road names and the loop described here offer clear orientation, without requiring you to equate it with a particular walking or cycling route.

A local farm connection

Melktap Veldhuis offers fresh raw milk straight from the farm in Beemte Broekland. If this appeals to you during your stay, check before visiting whether it will be available on the day you plan to go.

Find a holiday rental to suit your trip

If you are looking for a holiday rental in Beemte Broekland, you can begin with a specific question: should a cultural topic, planning a cycle trip or walking in the Weteringse Broek shape your stay? If the raw milk from Melktap Veldhuis is also relevant to you, keep its availability in mind as a separate planning point.
