Purified by plants, this natural body of water is free of chemicals and is ready for you to jump in (if it’s not too cold!) There is a large pond (73m) and a smaller, kid friendly pool (50cm) which makes it perfect for the whole family!
- Other Boekenberg park highlights: the National History Museum, a terrace cafe, a playground and climbing course, and a community center that holds events and even weddings! Wanting to stay longer? There’s cabins you can rent on the property for a secluded, romantic overnight trip.
