    The Zwolse Bos owes its name to the water extraction for the city of Zwolle. From 1892 to 1960, the Veluwe drinking water was pumped to Zwolle. The current parking lot 'Pompstation' is located where the former pumping station must have stood. The former gable stone of this special building and the 'kret', the kilometre-long sunken trench through the forest where water pipes have been located, can be admired from this parking lot. The current forest is now over 100 years old and consists mainly of rustling coniferous forests, large Douglas firs, avenues, fens, and a beautiful large sloping moor with a top of 40 meters high, the Tonnenberg.
