Hiking
The Rijsterbos is one of Friesland's most famous forests. This historic forest in the rolling Gaasterland countryside was established in 1676 by the Amsterdam regent Hiob de Wildten and is renowned for its centuries-old beech and oak trees. A walk regularly rewards you with stunning vistas, such as the view over Lake IJsselmeer from the Mirnserklif. The forest boasts a rich history, from its time as a noble estate to events during World War II, and is also home to diverse natural habitats, including badger dens and numerous mushroom species.
