"An oasis of beautiful trees surrounded by the boredom of harbour industry. Worth the tip for a walk, especially for families: You can’t get lost because you are kept in by a fence but it is big enough for some ‘forest bathing’. I wish it was bigger but I’m so happy they preserved this special place!"
Mariska Groen
"The year is 2035 and society has reached perfection. Oh no.
With a beautiful glade where dance and hang out are can happen in nice moment of time, love is in the ari.
Thank you!"
