Abtswoudse Bos

The 190-hectare natural space contains planted trees, shrubs, ditches, ponds, and small lakes connected by shell paths and grassy fields.

The area transformed from meadows into a designed park in 2000, marking a shift in urban planning toward integrating natural spaces within cities.

The central feature Moeder Aarde represents a human figure through landscaping, with paths symbolizing blood veins and strategic placement of plants.

Visitors can access parking at Tanthofdreef number 10, near Kynologenclub Delft, and explore designated off-leash areas for dogs throughout the year.

The park includes an artificial hill measuring 200 meters wide and 5 meters high, offering views over the forest, polder, and neighboring cities.
