I got the tip from a friend. Yesterday I cycled to the trail and rode it. Wow, very nice trail. Well-maintained and clean. Thanks to the community who care for and maintain the trail. I'll be back. Highly recommended.

Here you are standing at a special piece of history and the oldest aviation monument in the Netherlands. In 1871, a French balloon landed here that had risen a little from the then besieged Paris. The balloon was intended to keep in touch with the non-besieged part of France, but was blown in a different direction by an air current. The crew, who also had secret mail and a few bottles of wine on board, decided to land in the safe Netherlands, after which they continued their journey to their original destination as soon as possible to deliver the secret mail. As a reminder of this historic event, this balloon column was unveiled in 1896.
