Private hunting grounds of the royals King Willem I and King Willem II.
Hardstenen grenspaal uit de negentiende eeuw bedoeld voor de afbakening van het privé jachtterrein van de koning van Nederland.
Koning Willem I en koning Willem II kochten in de eerste helft van de negentiende eeuw geleidelijk duinweiden op tussen het centrum en Scheveningen en maakten er hun jachtgebied van. Om het gebied te markeren werden grenspalen aangebracht. Met de groeiende verstedelijking na 1850 werden deze gebieden vanaf het derde kwart van de negentiende eeuw al weer verkocht voor de aanleg van geheel nieuwe stadswijken (Archipelbuurt, Duinoord, Zorgvliet) en bosparken (Scheveningse Bosjes). Twee grenspalen aan de rand van de Scheveningse Bosjes zijn bewaard gebleven. Een betreft een natuurstenen paal langs de rand van het bos aan de Kerkhoflaan (tegenover Kerkhoflaan 2). Aan een zijde is de tekst Privatieve Jagt van den Koning ingehakt en aan de ander zijde Domein. Het gaf de grens aan tussen het eigendom van de Nederlandse Staat en het privé-gebied van de koning.
De andere paal is eenvoudiger van vorm en staat ook in de Scheveningse Bosjes aan de Scheveningseweg nabij de Joodse begraafplaatst.
De wegpaal is van historisch belang als tastbare herinnering aan de negentiende eeuwse afbakening van het vroegere privé-jachtterrein van de koning der Nederlanden aan de noodzijde van het toenmalige Den Haag.
Although not the same Heron in this sequence, it was most interesting watching this Heron hunting on Tealham Moor, Somerset. Later on West Sedge Moor I saw another Heron carrying what might be a large Water Vole or possibly a Rat. Just after taken this, the Vole was dropped!

The impressive building in the German Ore Mountains was constructed in the 1870s and was used as a hunting residence of the Saxon nobles in the 20th century. In fact, the stately home was in possessions of the royal family which was also spending a lot of time here.
After the end of monarchy in 1918 the manor-house was becoming less important. Now it was transformed into a hotel owned by a Masonic lodge. But when the lodge was banned by the Nazi regime soon afterwards, it was only allowed for soldiers to take a vacation here. During the war, the German Wehrmacht used the building as sickbay for wounded of the Russian campaign. Later Soviet occupying forces were dispossessing the owner and the place was used as another vacation home.
After the political wind of change in Germany of 1990 the estate was used as a training and conference center of the region’s police school. Then only the noble architecture was a reminiscence of the original role of the building. But still today you can find some debris of the time of the police school.
