Borculo

Borculo received city rights in 1375.


Eibergen

Eibergen is close to the Dutch-German border. Eibergen counted two official border crossing points on main roads and a small number of border crossing point for limited use on secundary roads. Since border crossing traffic became free and checks are only made inward at a certain distance from the actual border, the border has been 'perforated' by numerous (mostly bicycle) roads.


Because of this border past, a local annual indoor soccer tournament of Eibergen's police has grown to the world's largest sports event of its kind: the World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament. Held in October every year: more than 1.000 police officers from over 30 countries participate.

Ze zijn er nog mee bezig en je kunt zien dat het nog niet af is. “Ja, de websitemakers zitten in Woerden”, en die denken waarschijnlijk dat we de vakantiegangers die onze nieuwe gemeente Berkelland hebben ontdekt, liever door sturen de Achterhoek in.
Teksten om te kletsen, en wie niet in de Achterhoek door de mangel wordt gehaald, ligt allang op het kerkhof van Zwiep met de witte wieven op de bezem.
