Step into Vliegenbos, a century-old forest in Amsterdam-Noord that feels far from the city despite being close to it. Follow shaded trails under elm and ash trees, listening for birdsong along the way.
Full description
Vliegenbos is an old woodland in Amsterdam-Noord dominated by elm and ash trees, home to plenty of birdlife and known for its walking trails and campsite. Paved, wheelchair-friendly paths sit alongside narrower dirt tracks that suit dog walkers, and reviewers say the park feels remarkably secluded despite its closeness to streets and shops.
A short walk from the metro connects it to the city centre in one stop, making it an easy escape for solo walkers or anyone wanting forest atmosphere without leaving Amsterdam.
