Boomkroonpad, Canopy walkway in Drouwen, Netherlands
The Boomkroonpad extends 125 meters through the forest canopy at a height of 22.5 meters, offering a view of trees from root level to crown.
The construction of Boomkroonpad in 1996 marked the establishment of the first elevated forest pathway in the Netherlands, located in the Hondsrug region.
The walkway functions as an educational center where visitors learn about forest ecosystems, wildlife patterns, and natural conservation in the Drenthe province.
The facility includes a visitor center, outdoor terrace cafe, souvenir shop, and serves as a starting point for numerous hiking and cycling routes.
Visitors begin their journey through an underground tunnel formed by tree roots before ascending to observe squirrels and birds at treetop level.
