The Bentwoud forms another green border of Zoetermeer. It is a new nature reserve that is in full development. In 2000, the first trees for this forest were planted and the wetlands were established. A special forest is slowly emerging here where visitors can stroll around and spot birds. The public golf course and the children's tree forest, a symbol of new life, are definitely worth a visit.
This route takes you via Waddinxveen and Moerkapelle along the Rottemeren. Via Bergschenhoek and Pijnacker you will return to Zoetermeer.
