Libro de rutas HealthyMind in a Healthy Body POI’s Node 81: The Rikmansbrug at Fleringen is one of the four drawbridges over the canal opened in 1866 Almelo - Nordhorn, which now no longer used for shipping is. In 1822 an oil mill was built on the present site by the family von Bönninghausen (the former inhabitants of the Havezathe Herinckhave), it is build because the castle often had insufficient water. In 1844 it burned down. In the same place was in 1846 on an increase, due to windmills drag of surrounding trees, the current round stone ground sailor. The farmers had to drive on one side up the hill and on the other side down. The mill is furnished as corn and hulling mill and is also known under the names: Grobben Möl or Fleringermolen. The name comes from the Grobben Möl Grubbe family, who were formerly residents of Herinckhave. In 1916, the external assets of the Herinckhave were sold. The former tenant, T. H. Miller Frielink bought the mill. He has earned a living there until 1931. After his death, the mill was operated by his brother, Bernard and son John. In 1936 the mill was decommissioned. In 1937 the mill was owned by the wool manufacterer Ten Bos from Almelo, to save the mill from demolition. The already ruined mill was restored shortly after purchase. In 1955 he transorted the mill to Tubbergen. The mill then underwent immediate restoration; in 1975, again followed strong recovery.In september 2009 restoration; in 1975, again followed strong recovery. In September 2009 began a new

Friedrich Christian von Bönninghausen and Johanna Maria Antonetta Grubbe builded a new house, the present Havezate. Herinckhave grew into a large estate. It consisted of heathland, woods, more than six hundred thirty-five acres of farmland and farmsteads. In 1959 the house was burned, and in 1970 the house was restored by the Overijssel Castles Foundation. The private estate is now occupied by the former pediatrician Charles Bijleveld and Lady Gisela von Bönninghausen.

This domain consists of some oak-beech forest and moorland. Hondenven is a geological monument: it is a pingo-ruin. A pingo-ruin is a remnant from the ice age. In that period, there was located a groundwaterbel. By freezing, the bubble expanded and formed a hill in the country: a pingo. As the climate became warmer, the ice hill thawed slowly and mud slid over the years to the edge. Eventually, a water-filled trough remained, surrounded by a wall of sand higher.

The trail starts in front of the tourist office in the centre of Preddvor and goes past Slančeva vila towards old stables, past castle Hrib, back to the hotel Bor, besides lake Črnava, near Bistrica stream, towards valley Draga, where it finishes. On the trail there are 28 different tree species marked with signs: Lawson's cypress, hornbeam, beech, Canadian hemlock, Lebanon cedar, European larch, green pine, American plane tree, cigar tree, Horse chestnut, avenue of American ash, giant sequoia, White cedar, Scots pine, Black pine, Little-leaf Linden, poplar, common walnut, Oregon pine, pedunculate oak, sycamore maple, black elder, black walnut, fir, Norway spruce, common ash, hop hornbeam. Most of the signed trees are foreign trees and were planted by former owners of the manor. With these trees they formed a park. They wanted to have a collection of unusual trees. Among them giant sequoias are the most interesting. They stand out with their height and looks. Lawson's cypress and White cedar are related with giant sequoia. The home of all three species is North America. Lebanon cedar and American plane tree are very beautiful. Canadian hemlock is special. These mentioned trees are between one hundred and a hundred and fifty years old. On the trail we can recognize some of the tree species. We can compare white and black hornbeam, spruce and fir, black and red pine. In the forest educational trail we can gain a lot of knowledge. Not only about trees, but also about nature, that changes a lot during seasons. A Legend There is a legend about the avenue of ash trees. Once upon a time there lived a gardener in the Hrib Castle. He fell in a love with a young lady from the castle and she loved him, too. They had secret meetings in the avenue. Only trees understood their love. They covered them with their branches so nobody could see them. Finally, they were allowed to get married. They lived happily for fifty years, until the lady died. Even today it is believed if the newly wedded walk through the castle on their wedding day, they will have fifty years of happiness and faithfulness.

The image of the castle we see today dates from 17th century. Monks turned the castle into monastery where there was the first school in the town. After the Second World War in 1945 children from Bosnia and Croatia who lost their parents were placed at the castle. Later, there was a Juvenile Centre for the primary school children with behaviour and learning problems. Now the castle is empty and it is waiting for renovation. HRIB CASTLE Hrib castle was built in 16th century. It is located above the Kokra river, by the lake Črnava. Nowadays it doesn't look like the original, because many owners exchanged the castle and every one of them changed its look a little. In the year 1850 the castle was Fuschs manor. In the year 1924 the owner became Franc Dolenc, who reformed it into at tuberculosis hospital. But in the last few years it's mainly used for tourism. In the castle, there are also a marriage hall and a conference room. The parish church of Saint Peter stands in the centre of Preddvor, next to the Dvor Castle. The first mention of a church was in year 1156, but it got today’s look in 1751. It was reinforced during the Turkish invasions. The belfry (1505) was preserved from this era as well. The Church is baroquely decorated. There are two paintings: the painting of Saint Peter and Last Dinner from Janez Wolf (1825 – 1884). There is a shrine opposite the church with frescoes from painter Leopold Layer (1752 – 1828).
