Until the 1930s, there was a small bridge over the Tungelroysebeek. The bridge was lost due to land consolidation but has been back since 2016. Together with the Roman bridge and the Linjerbrökske, the stream and cultural history become perfectly tangible.

In the Middle Ages, the poor sandy soils in the area were sometimes overused due to recurring wood cutting, turf cutting, and grazing by cattle. Even heathland no longer grew at that time. Bare sand remained and began to drift under the influence of the wind. The drifting sand posed a threat to the surroundings and was controlled by planting, among other things, oak belts. Nowadays, the Tungelerwallen consists of an alternation of coniferous woodland, gnarled oaks, and open sand. It is precisely the open sand that offers many special features, such as Iceland moss, bee wolf, and antlion, all species perfectly adapted to extreme dryness and temperature fluctuations.
