라이덴‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

At this spot, dotted with several benches, boats come and go constantly. Always a pleasant sight.

The Berkheide and Meijendel dune areas are home to an enormous diversity of plant and animal species due to the varied vegetation, moisture content, and lime content. This includes rare plants and herbs, as many as 250 bird species, a huge variety of insects, and even the sand lizard and the natterjack toad.

Beautiful park between Zoetermër, Benthuizen and Waddinxveen. Plenty of benches, beautiful paths, more and more animals, pheasants, magpies, foxes, wayner birds etc. The intention is that there will also be a mtb route.

The Benthuizerplas, like the other two lakes, has an important function as a water storage facility, but is also a nature development lake between Benthuizen and Zoetermeer. The lake is a special area when it comes to nature. The water is completely closed off from the other lakes and has its own natural water level management system. This means that rain and evaporation largely determine the height of the water level.

Nice little lake, not for boats and not for swimming, skating is possible at minus 10

The Bentwoud is a new nature and recreation area in the Randstad, between Zoetermeer and Boskoop. It may be a young forest, but the design of the nature reserve was completed in 2016, but it is already a large forest. In recent years, 2.5 million trees and shrubs have been planted and 80 kilometers of walking and cycling paths have been constructed. And yet you have the space: with over 800 hectares, the Bentwoud is the largest contiguous forest area in the Randstad. Although the Bentwoud is still developing, many special birds, butterflies and plants can already be found there. There is also a lot to experience for visitors. You can enjoy a lovely walk there, or go on an excursion with the ranger. Throughout the area you can get off the paths and stroll through the forest. https://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/uit-in-de-natuur/locations/bentwoud https://bentwoud.info/?page_id=28 https://www.zoetermeerisdeplek.nl/ontspanning/in-de-natuur/bentwoud

The Benthuizerplas, together with the Noordhovense Plas and the Zoetermeerse Plas, is part of the Noord Aa recreational area. The Zoetermeerse Plas is a dug lake for sand extraction. The other two have been excavated, are fairly shallow and serve as an overflow area for the Zoetermeerse Plas. The Benthuizerplas is a nature reserve and popular with waterfowl and bird lovers. More information can be found at Wikipedia and the Municipality of Zoetermeer, among others https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetermerse_Plas

And if you're lucky, there's a Feadship superyacht outside.
