Woldberg

Woldberg is a forested hill rising 75 meters with marked trails winding through its natural landscape and wooded slopes. The hill offers several walking routes of varying length that pass through dense trees and more open areas.

The forest came under state management in 1956, after being privately owned by the Schlingemann family for generations. This transition preserved the area as a public nature site for future visitors.

The site is known among walkers for its glacial landforms and the visible traces of ice age processes shaped into the rolling terrain. The slopes show clear evidence of how ancient glacial movements created the distinctive hills.

Access is from the parking area on Bergweg road, where several walking paths branch off in different directions. Good footwear is recommended as paths can become slippery in wet conditions.

The paths contain recycled materials from Rotterdam's bombing rubble, which enriched the soil with unusual nutrients. These debris materials inadvertently created conditions for rare plant species to take root in this location.
