Here you want to go to the woods in the Netherlands

1. Speulder- & Sprielderbos – Gelderland

This forest can be found in Gelderland, near Ermelo and Putten. It is one of the oldest forests in the Netherlands and should therefore certainly not be missed on this list. It is a forest with many varied trees, from pine to spruce and from birch to oak. This creates an environment that could come out of a fairytale. In addition, there is a difference in height in the area, so that your leg muscles are also trained immediately. You can choose from different routes, for example the Duintjes Route (about 6 kilometers) which starts at the parking lot at Garderenseweg 440 in Ermelo.

2. Cape Forest – Utrecht

One of my personal favorites are the Kaapse Bossen, which are located in Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The Kaapse Bossen are also popular with the general public and for good reason. The Kaapse Bossen has beautiful forest paths and a diversity of nature. In addition, the place is easy to drive from Randstad. As a result, it can sometimes be busy, so find a quiet moment (for example on a weekday or early in the morning). As a hiker you can choose from different routes, so that you discover a different part of the woods every time.

Tip: go up the observation tower, then you have a great view of the area! Here you will find all routes .

3. Loonse en Drunense Duinen – North Brabant

A well-known area because of the unique and wide sand drifts. It is not for nothing that the nature reserve has the nickname Brabant Sahara and that is reason number 1 to really visit this area. But the area is also very diverse with forests, water and heaths. Each visit and each season provides a different experience. Even more reasons to get on the car or train! In addition to various routes, you can also walk around in the Loonse en Drunsense Duinen yourself, as long as you respect nature and its inhabitants. This area is incredibly large, the size of seven thousand football fields. So you have plenty of choice in terms of routes! This ANWB route is highly recommended .

Sallandse Heuvelrug is another beautiful National Park that is rich in our country. With beautiful hills, moors and varied forests, this is a wonderful forest area to visit. There is much to discover in this area, such as Landhuis De Sprengenberg, the Holterberg and the blooming heathland in summer. A fun and varied route with a magnificent view starts from the Holterberg. You might also come across one of the two flocks of sheep; that makes for nice pictures. You can also look up the sheep yourself at the Sheepfold Hoge Hexel or the sheepfold on the Sprengenberg.

5. National Park Dwingelderveld – Drenthe

Recently I was on a road trip in Drenthe and stayed near National Park Dwingelderveld. An unknown place, all the more fun to discover. We soon found the Plankenpad , which runs through the woods of the Dwingelderveld. It is a relaxed route of more than 5 kilometers long. At some point you will arrive at the ''planks'' after which the route is named. The starting point can be found near the Van der Valk hotel in Spier, a nice place to have dinner after your walk or even to stay overnight.

6. Deelerwoud – Veluwe, Gelderland

Do you want to not only relax, but also spot wildlife? Then the Deelerwoud is a perfect place! This forest is located north of Arnhem and is a popular forest for photographers and nature lovers. It is a varied area with zigzag paths through the forest and beautiful moors. What can you encounter in terms of wildlife? Think Scottish highlanders, deer, wild boars and also different types of reptiles. In short, a unique place in the Netherlands In the summer you can also find beautiful purple heather in the Deelerwoud.

7. Quackjeswater – Voornes Duin, South Holland

We conclude with a nature reserve in South Holland, away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Near Rockanje we find the dune lake Quackjeswater, a typical name for a beautiful and quiet area. This area is characterized by the combination of water, forest and dunes. A nice mix for a walk. You also have a chance to spot different birds; in the spring and summer, for example, the spoonbill. The route around the Quackjeswater is quite short, so you can ideally combine it with another route. For example the Panroute , along the dunes and the beach.Stay overnight nearby?
