Forests in Westland
- Beautiful nature in the area
- Unwind for a while
- Nearby
Leave the salty dunes behind and head for the forests located in Westland. The perfect outing with nice weather and not so nice weather.
The forest never disappoints.
Below we highlight two for you, the Staelduinse Bos and the Prinsenbos.
Both can be reached in about 20 minutes by bike, and by car you can get there even faster!
Staelduinse Bos
The Staelduinse Bos is a fun place for play adventures. For example, you will find bunkers that are from World War II. Walk among the soldiers’ quarters of the German bunker village, but don’t go inside. Way too dangerous! Dogs are welcome in this beautiful piece of nature, but they should be kept on a leash.
There are three hiking trails, all of which pass by the bunkers.
The Bat Route (red, 3.5 km), the Old Cowshed Route (yellow, 3 km) and the Van Rijckevorsel Route (blue, 2.5 km; wheelchair friendly).
For children there is a watchtower and a play pool, wet feet guaranteed!
Prinsenbos
The Prinsenbos is a recreational area in Naaldwijk, near Strandpark Vlugtenburg.
It consists mostly of a small lake with a thin edge of forest.
In the recreational area you will find nature, sports and relaxation.
The Prinsenbos also has a fine hiking trail.
Take a dip in the lake, have a picnic on the beach, have fun on the playground equipment or take your dog to the special dog beach.
You can also learn all kinds of things about herbs, birds, insects, flowers and plants.
Everyone can have a great time here!
