Rekken RKN VOR/DME, 10 May 2003.

Take care. It's not allowed to drive on the path near the beacon. Don't drive on past the sign. You can be fined.

You go to Haaksbergen via the N18. There you take the road towards Rekken. After you’ve passed the bridge go straight on onto Peddedijk. About 500 m after the bridge go left onto Stratersdijk. (dirt track.). The beacon is about 200 metre further on on the LHS.
The beacon is called Rekken, but it is located at Haaksbergen near Haaksbergerveen (peat moor)!

We were in the neighbourhood of RKN on 6 June 2008 and took some extra photos.

October 2012: I made a new photo, it has grown a pair of red lights!

July 2019: The ATC list from Eurocontrol is stating that this beacon has changed to only a DME. I used my scanner and indeed there was no longer a signal on the frequencie of this VOR.

You can find a Museum Railway at Haaksbergen (See photo.) Click here for information.
