It's hard to know where to begin. I love visitng the Amsterdamse Bos!!! Fun fact - it is three timmes the size of New York's Central Park!Since Schiphol Airport sits near one end of de Bos, you'll see planes decending low on the horizon in preparation for landing. You can check out the link I've provided for a better idea... More

Hire a bike and head for The Bos. There are endless walking and cycling trails and in summer a couple of splash pools, you can hire a canoe and paddle about or just sit in the sunshine

Very noisy campsite, lots of cool wildlife though. Other guests were very unfriendly. Only allowed to stay for a week aswell and it's miles from anywhere.

A lovely place to have a great walk especially for those you like a flat walk way. I totally enjoyed walking there last Autumn and stepping on the lovely autumn leaves... More

Take a stroll though the forrest and enjoy the green scenery so close to busy Amsterdam. If you like pancakes, be sure to stopover and have one at the Boerderij Meerzicht. Strolling with kids? Don't miss out on the Goat Farm. Kids can give milk bottles to new born lambs :)

It's big, it's green, it's got a pancake restaurant and goat farm... and that's about all you can say for it. Nothing special.
