Hiking

The Horsterwold is one of the largest contiguous deciduous forests in the Netherlands. Here you can enjoy peace and quiet near the Randstad. You'll share the forest with roe deer, wild horses, fallow deer, foxes, and birds. An extensive network of paths and trails awaits you. But there are also large sections of forest with fewer paths, where it's even more peaceful. The area is full of special spots and sights.
