The Hortus botanicus Haren is one of the oldest and largest botanical gardens in the Netherlands. The Hortus, which is 15 hectares in size, contains a large number of very different gardens. There is a wild botanical garden, a Celtic garden and a Chinese garden with an authentic Chinese tea house. The University of Groningen owns the Hortus Haren.

There is catering and even more fun: you can also spend the night there. Look at hortusharen.nl/hortus-hermitage

Hiking

A very beautiful botanical garden, its size alone makes it tempting to linger for a while. You can take some wonderful photos there.
