Baarnse Bos, Historic forest and municipal monument in Baarn, Netherlands.

The Baarnse Bos spans 80 hectares of land bordered by Amsterdamse Straatweg, Van Heutszlaan, a railway line, and Praamgracht in Utrecht province.

Between 1733 and 1758, the forest was transformed into a French landscape garden before being transferred to the Dutch royal family as part of their estate.

The forest layout incorporates French garden design principles from the 18th century, with carefully planned paths and geometric patterns throughout the grounds.

Multiple entrance points along Amsterdamse Straatweg and Van Heutszlaan provide access to the forest's network of walking trails and recreational areas.

Located directly opposite Soestdijk Palace, this former private royal estate opened to the public at the end of the 19th century.
