Het Amsterdamse Bos

Nature and Parks in Amsterdam

"On the southern outskirts of the city, het Amsterdam Bos, or the Amsterdam Forest, features lush meadows, winding bike paths and bike rental facilities, an organic goat farm and petting zoo, two cheese farms, and numerous lakes, swimming pools, and sports facilities. You can rent a canoe or pedal boat at Grote Vijver Lake, hire a horse at one of two stables, see a play at the open-air theater in summer, or slide down an artificial mountain in winter. For joggers and gymnasts, a special route features fences, horizontal bars, rings, and balance beams. For nude sunbathers, a patch has been set aside near De Amstelveense Poel Lake." - MATADOR_NETWORK
