Visit the Zoutmuseum. While searchin for potable water in 1886 Baron van Heeckeren van Wassenaer discovered that the drilling left him with salty water. From this discovery the present salt industry (Akzo-Nobel at Hengelo) arose.

Timber

This is one of the last remaining wood saw factories. The sawmill is very old (1771) and was wind-, steam and electricity driven over the course of time. The old machine shop is a tourist attraction.

What to buy: Wood of course.

What to pay: Euro 10 per item (3 meters of wood)

The City Pump

Water pump

Favorite thing: The city water pump at the small market is worth a visit. The pump dates from 1894, the year a potable waterpipe was completed to the neighbouring Borne. The citizens of Delden donated money to build this pump in thanks for the waterpipe financed by the Twickel baron. The pipe was necessary, because the attempt to drill a local well resulted in getting salt water.
