Het Streekbos

Discover it here

The Streekbos is one of those places where you naturally slow your pace. Woodland, water, grass and paths alternate. You can walk, swim, climb, fish or simply gaze up at the sky. The West Frisian outdoor life, without any fuss.

Who is this a good site for?

For walkers, families, dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts. Also great for cyclists looking for a green stop. Children can play or climb. Those seeking peace and quiet can take a path alongside the water and trees.

When will you visit here?

On a crisp morning for a walk. On a warm afternoon by the swimming lake. Or on a Sunday, when the IVN Visitor Centre is open and you’d like to find out a bit more about nature.

What to expect.

You can hear the rustling of reeds, children by the water and birds amongst the trees. The paths wind through grass, woodland and water features. At the Klimpark, you can climb to new heights. At IVN, you can take a closer look at everything that grows and crawls. And on a clear day, the sky stretches vast above the polder.

A walk can be short, but you can also spend half a day there. The area has ample parking facilities. Dogs are allowed off the lead in some areas, and there is a dog swimming area near the Weelenpad. Please follow the signs and consult the site map. A fishing spot is accessible to people with reduced mobility. For food and drink, head to IJgenweis in the Streekbos Pavilion. It’s best to check dietary options in advance with the catering staff themselves.

Our tip for your visit

Take the path towards the water. That’s where the Streekbos feels most like Westfriesland: reeds, wind and open space.
