Spaarnwoude, Recreation area in Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands

The 3000-hectare park combines woods, lakes, and polders, featuring four swimming areas including Westbroekplas with its 200-meter sandy beach.

During the 1960s, landscape architect Jacoba Mulder transformed agricultural land into an English-style park with extensive woodlands and water features.

The Forts Route spans 6.24 kilometers through Haarlemmermeer, connecting multiple defensive structures that form part of the Amsterdam Defense Line.

Visitors can access multiple hiking paths, including the 9-kilometer Buitenhuizen route that passes by locks, windmills, and a functioning pumping station.

The Big Spotters Hill presents a pyramid structure within the Groene Weelde section, functioning as a training location throughout the year.
