    Tips

    The Laakse Slenk is an old watercourse in the Hulkestein forest. Until the 1960s, the bottom of this forest was seabed, first of the Zuiderzee, then of the IJsselmeer. But long, long before a sea arose here, there was also land. It was exactly here that the river Laak flowed through the low country. Over the years, the river became shallower and shallower due to the clay that the sea kept bringing in. Over time it silted up completely. But the old course of the Laak remained visible in the bottom. In order to bring water into the forest, the old loop has now been dug open again by Staatsbosbeheer.
