I've been doing a lot of walking, lately, due to a running injury. It's a lovely green space to enjoy some mature around your doorstep. Especially in the snow, the scenery is magic. So close near the city centre, yet so peaceful if you know where to go.

If you like having a marked trail to follow try the Kabouterroute (1.5km) or the N70 (16km). Gorgeous forrest next to the most undutch village in Holland. Go on a dry day or you'll be knee high in mud!
