Asserbos, Nature area in Assen, Netherlands
Asserbos is a forest near Assen with ancient oak trees and thick holly bushes creating a dense canopy. Straight paths cut through the woods in a star pattern, meeting at central points throughout the area.
The forest emerged several centuries ago as one of the oldest deciduous woodlands in the Netherlands. Ponds within the area date from the 1800s and represent long-standing features of the landscape.
The forest functions as a gathering place where locals walk their dogs and spend weekends with family. Deer roam freely through the woods, creating a living connection between people and wildlife.
The area welcomes visitors daily with free parking and clearly marked walking trails. Families can find additional activities and information at facilities within the forest.
The path system was intentionally designed in a star formation, creating an unusual navigational experience as you walk. This geometric layout is a distinctive feature that shapes how visitors move through the forest.
