In the Bos Elfbergen lies a beautiful pond that you can admire from an idyllic wooden bridge. This largest forest in Gaasterland, created in the 19th century, offers a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees that give the whole a fairytale atmosphere. Walk or cycle along the winding paths and enjoy the peace, the view of the water and the surrounding nature.

A small pond in the middle of the forest. There's a bench on one side for a quick rest. A bridge crosses the pond. A very beautiful, unexpected place.
