스키플루이덴‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

You are allowed to take your dog with you, as long as it is leashed. There are two hills with semi-natural stairs that are pretty steep.

Great scenery, but bad bike path.

One of the few "forests" near Rotterdam. This route is designed so that as much as possible can be walked on footpaths. There is only one steep climb.

Julianapark Main entrance Burg. Knappertlaan The Julianapark is the only park in Schiedam that is protected as a monument. Nowadays, its design is still very similar to the design that the municipal landscape architect J.K. Dominicus drew in 1914. The park was the first part that was constructed during the development of the new West district. The pond was an important part of the water management in the former polder area, which was reclaimed from 1907 onwards. Dominicus designed a park with curved paths in a landscaped design, combined with several formal avenues and sight lines, such as the access path from Burgemeester Knappertlaan. An artificial hill or belvedere was constructed in the centre of the park, from where there is a beautiful view of the park. The crowning dome is surrounded by a brick pergola. The colonnade with lime trees is also characteristic. There are more beautiful trees in the park, such as a beech and hornbeam, and the liberation tree planted in 1947. There are several monuments in the park, such as the Emmabank from 1935 and a liberation monument from 1949 by Pieter van Starreveld. Many older Schiedammers still remember the magical lighting of the Julianapark during the 'Holiday Festivities' in the fifties. This lighting was not easy, for example the eight kilometres of electricity cables had to be buried in lawns, flower beds and paths. The manager was therefore not initially enthusiastic. With Winterlicht in December the beautiful effect can be relived. NB. Fortunately this lighting was not always on. The adult male youth had secret meetings in the park at night with the young student nurses who stayed in the convent next to the park.

It is a beautiful walking area, but of course on a Sunday with nice weather, very busy with families and children. Not bad in itself, but if you are looking for silence, you better go on a weekday.

About the Sand Motor In 2011, a peninsula of 21.5 million cubic metres of sand was created off the coast of Kijkduin according to the principle of Building with Nature. Wind and current spread the sand along the coast and towards the dunes. The aim is to strengthen the coast in the long term and to create a dynamic nature and recreation area. The Sand Motor is a unique experiment, because we work with the water instead of against it. By dumping a large amount of sand in one go, we prevent repeated disturbance of the seabed. Nature places the sand in the right place for us. Peace and space Since its construction, the sand has gradually spread north and south under the influence of wind, waves and current. As a result, the area has increasingly come to resemble the dynamic coastal nature that we know from the Wadden Islands. Various plants, birds and other animals have nestled in the new, attractive coastal landscape. The area also has great recreational value for nature lovers and active sportsmen. The Sand Motor offers a place of peace and space for both humans and animals. Icon for innovation The Sand Motor is important as a driver for innovative coastal maintenance. Since its construction, dozens of researchers from various universities and knowledge institutions have been closely following the development of the Sand Motor. Due to its innovative and large-scale character, the Sand Motor has become an international innovation icon.
