The Venneperhout was first water, then arable land and now a polder forest. Construction started in 2003. The result is a varied park forest on the edge of Nieuw-Vennep with some brushland. It’s all about young nature with strong growth and is therefore different every year. Also nearby is the Zwaansbroek forest area to the west, which is approximately the same age.
- The Kleintje Venneperhout Route (purple) near Nieuw-Vennep leads you over young avenues of trees and winding paths that can be soggy in winter.
