Former research location for water management, now a beautiful piece of cultural history and nature reserve.

The Waterloopbos is a unique area where nature and history converge. This former open-air laboratory houses dozens of scale models of world-famous harbors, dams, and locks. Nature has since taken over much of the landscape, allowing you to walk among trees, water, and the ruins of test models.

A unique combination of culture, technology, and nature—definitely recommended for hikers and curious explorers! 🌊🌳
