The lordship of Buckscope (Boskoop) is known as the largest contiguous tree nursery area in the world. The area has a wonderful alternation between water-rich tree nursery areas, low-lying reclaimed land and peat meadow polders. In addition to the abundance of greenery, Boskoop also has 12 national monuments and there are numerous drawbridges, swing bridges and arched bridges. These characteristic bridges were built in the past to keep the canals in the battle landscape accessible for transport over water. The battle landscape is a landscape in which allotment has taken place in narrow lanes (strokes) with ditches in between.
Zwammerdam is a village in the Groene Hart with a rich history. The oldest remains of habitation date from the 8th to 10th century. The village takes its name from a dam, the Suadenborchdam, which was built in 1165 by the count of Holland, Floris III, to hold back the water from the Rhine. The history is still clearly visible and tangible in the center, around the church.
Zwammerdam is located in the middle of the area where the Limes (northern border of the Roman Empire) and the Old Dutch Water Line meet and where you can enjoy the historic windmills of Aarlanderveen. There are plenty of opportunities to cycle, canoe or walk through the vast polder landscape.

A characteristic cultural-historical landscape element for Boskoop are the wooded fields. These were installed on the west or south side of the nursery to protect the young trees from the wind.
