Hiking
This beautiful hike starts at the Tourist Orientation Point (TOP) in Harderbos. Here you will find a large parking lot where you can park your car.
From the parking lot you hike directly into the fascinating Harderbos natural area. Surrounded by tall poplar trees, you walk along the paths that lead you through the forest and along the canals and ponds. Along the way you will not only meet other hikers, but also beavers and Scottish highland cattle that happily peek out from between the branches.
At the end of the circular hike you will return to the parking lot. There is also a place to stop for refreshments here if you want to fortify yourself after the tour.
