Kootwijkerbroek

Remembrance, everyday farming history, an annual market and a range of products give Kootwijkerbroek several different points of interest. A walking route on the edge of the village and a cycling route that includes Wesselseweg may also be useful for planning your trip. If you are looking for a hotel in Kootwijkerbroek, these topics can help you decide whether culture, market activity, food or outdoor pursuits are most important for your trip.

War Memorial and Farm Museum

The Kootwijkerbroek war memorial is a marble and bronze commemorative stele. It bears the names of eleven people who lost their lives in Kootwijkerbroek during the war. The stele combines a tangible memorial with the names of those being remembered.

The farm museum run by Thea van Ee offers a different way to explore the past. It displays historical household and agricultural objects. The collection also includes old radios, record players, lunch boxes and school wall charts. The items mentioned range from agricultural and household objects to things from everyday life and school. If you are planning a visit to the farm museum, please check current visiting arrangements in advance.

Market, Baked Goods and Produce

The Kootjebroeksemarkt takes place every year in Kootwijkerbroek. Check the specific dates for your travel period. The Kootjebroekse Markt also organises a barn sale at the Lagemaat family’s property at Kootwijkerdijk 17 in Kootwijkerbroek. The market and the barn sale are therefore two separate points of interest for anyone interested in local market activity.

The Puurveense Molen shop sells baking ingredients such as bread flour, spelt flour, cake flour, pancake flour and cookie mix. If you would like to include a visit to the shop in your plans, please check its opening details before travelling. In Kootwijkerbroek, Ons Bakhuys offers baking mixes, toys, decorations and honey. Its range therefore goes beyond baked goods: alongside the baking mixes, it also includes gifts and decorative items, as well as honey.

Food production is another of the topics covered: Top cheese and other dairy products are made daily from fresh milk supplied by farmers Gerrit and Christina from Kootwijkerbroek. The Valksche Bijenhof produces fresh honey from its own beehives. Together with the baking ingredients and mixes on offer, these provide several specific examples of food products and how they are made.

Getting Around on Foot and by Bike

Rondje Kootwijkerbroek is a walking route that runs along the edge of Kootwijkerbroek. It is part of the Wandelnetwerk Veluwe network. Walkers can use its junctions to plan their own routes. If you are preparing a walk, check the route conditions before setting out. The described route on the edge of the village and the option to put together your own walks using junctions are two different approaches to planning.

For cycling, the Doortraproute Barneveld rondom Zeumeren runs along Wesselseweg. At junction 68, the turn-off leads to Kootwijkerbroek. The route information available therefore differs: for walking, it describes a route along the edge of the village and planning via junctions; for cycling, it names Wesselseweg and a specific junction. This information can help you choose the focus of your travel plans without confusing the walking and cycling routes.
