    This is the Green Pool. What is striking is the silence in this place. The 'Koninginnebank', the bench of Queen Sophie, the first wife of King William III, used to stand here. The bench made of tree trunks was made for her by forest rangers around 1862. Queen Sophie enjoyed the beautiful view over the endless heathland towards Kootwijk.

      A small pond, mostly overgrown with algae and therefore 'green,' with a bench for a break. Quite off the beaten track and correspondingly quiet.
