Big Spotters Hill
Highlight • Viewpoint
The hill is 42 meters high and was built on an artificial island as a viewing point for the Floriade 2002 in Haarlemmermeer.
It is made from the sand and earth that was released when ditches and ponds were excavated on the Floriade site.
The shape is based on the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.
The work of art Space Temple by Auke de Vries has been on top since 2002, but in 2004 the work of art was destroyed by a storm.
Since 2014 there is a new object: Mainport by Lehner and Gunther architects. This structure is 15 meters high and has the contours of a gate. The arch-shaped openings are oriented to the four cardinal directions.
Among runners, the Big Spotters Hill is especially popular for hill training. Several times a year events are held around the pyramid, such as various running competitions and Mysteryland.
