The place

Boekelo is a village in the municipality of Enschede in the eastern Netherlands, the population is estimated at 2,500. It is located just west of Usselo. The village is known for the Military Boekelo Enschede, an international equestrian event.

It is also known for the salt industry, since 1919 located south of the village. This was a reason for the then well-known Bad Boekelo to have a salt water wave pool. After the opening of the Twentekanaal the factory of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Zoutindustrie was moved to Hengelo; currently it is called Nouryon Industrial Chemicals.
