Starting point Kleine Vennep / Nieuw-Vennep

The traditional Kleine Vennep farm has been there since 1928 and is a national monument. Along with its surroundings, it forms an estate classified under the Nature Conservation Act. The estate will be the southern gate of PARK21, the green area between Hoofddorp and Nieuw-Vennep that is still under development. The site is partly used as arable land but is also heavily planted with trees and shrubs and has an orchard with 'forgotten' fruit varieties. The variation in construction and tree species creates different places with their own atmosphere. Hundreds of birch trees, gifted by the Finnish-Dutch community, have been planted in the form of a flagpole with a Finnish flag. A series of walnut trees forms a 'rugby lineup', and elms form a tree circle. The terrain is in full development and the walking routes may also change course.

• The Small Kleine Vennep Route (purple) does not stray far but still introduces you to the varied plantings of the estate in Nieuw-Vennep.
• The Kleine Vennep Route (orange) in Nieuw-Vennep enters the site via the 'flagpole of the Finnish flag' and heads for the edges of the estate. A connecting green route links with the rest of PARK21 at the Nieuwerkerkertocht.
• The Calatrava Route (black) leads to, through and over the iconic cable-stayed bridge De Harp. It’s something special to walk in a work of art by Santiago Calatrava. The route connects the Kleine Vennep with the old and new centre of Nieuw-Vennep and leads past the Dutch Transport Museum.
