Description

The route starts at TOP Zoetermeer-Westerpark and runs along the windmill corridor of Stompwijk straight through the open polder area between Zoetermeer and Zoeterwoude.

For lovers of nature and cultural history, there is plenty to do in and around Zoetermeer. With an area of 225 hectares, Westerpark is the largest park in Zoetermeer. To the north of the Westerpark, the ruggedly overgrown hills of the Buytenpark form a unique contrast to the surrounding polders. You can find large grazers here and enjoy the wide panorama over the Groene Hart at the highest point. The egg-shaped Meerpolder (1616) is the oldest polder in South Holland. The three-way mill near Wilsveen shows how the polders used to be pumped dry. In this region you can buy homemade products from various (farming) companies.

Tip 1: Westerpark nature garden
The Natural Garden in the Westerpark provides a picture of the landscape in and around Zoetermeer, past and present. Take a walk through the polder with windmills, the willow along reed collars and fields and enjoy the flowery hay meadows. The alternation of clay and peat in the soil and the different water levels have led to a wide variety of plants.

Tip 2: Cheese farm De Vierhuizen Farm
De Vierhuizen is a small organic dairy farm. WildeWeidekaas is made from the milk in a traditional way. This is organic farmer's cheese of a particularly high quality. In 2013 and 2014, WildeWeidekaas even became national champion! Nature management is very important on the farm. There are hiking trails through the polder and there is a cozy farm shop.
