데 크라베플라스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Might be not doable during winter, or after raining days

Unfortunately the bird hide has been removed...but it remains a beautiful place for bird watching

On the beach on the east side of the Krabbeplas, a beautiful, child-friendly (water) playground has been set up, with a pump and some safe play equipment.

A memorial forest has been created behind the Jofel pavilion at the Plas, near the parking lot in Krabbepark. Here, people can plant a tree in memory of an event or person. For more information, please contact the Memory Trees Foundation. See: https://vlaardingen24.nl/artikel/eerste-boom-geplant-in-herinneringsbos

Only the birdhouse was gone

The Krabbeplas (also called Surfplas) is a wonderful water recreation area along the A20 next to Westwijk Vlaardingen. From the Broekpolder you can reach the Krabbeplas by car and bike/foot via the A20 motorway. Only cyclists and walkers can continue to the Zuidbuurt. You can swim, surf, play and sunbathe there. You can also fish and skate around the lake. And for a nice bite to eat and a drink there is the cozy terrace of Jofel aan de Plas.

The Broekpolder was once a peat meadow polder with a number of dairy farmers. The word 'broek' (brouck) refers to the original peat bog at this location. Vlaardingen was a growing city in the 1950s and there were plans to make housing possible in the Broekpolder. To achieve this, the area first had to be raised. This was done between 1958 and 1976 with dredged material. Later, this soil layer turned out to be too polluted to be able to realize a residential area here. Housing construction was therefore off the table. The area was then given a green design. It was partly planted with production forest and for another part nature did its own work. The polder was thus given a new life as a nature and recreation area.

The Broekpolder is a beautiful 400 ha. large and green nature and recreation area. You can walk, cycle, mountain bike, skate, play and do sports here. Close to the city of Vlaardingen and surrounded by the water of the Vlaardingse Vaart and the Vlieten, it is a very valuable green spot for residents in the region. The Broekpolder offers a diverse landscape of polder, forest and large lakes where many water birds live and winter. The Broekpolder is also the habitat of a large herd of Scottish Highlanders. In addition, there are more than 30 sports clubs for young and old. The four Vlaardingen scouting groups have also been given a new joint home in the Broekpolder.
