Last Sunday we visited Boomkroonpad (‘Tree Top Path’), a 2,500 hectare (6,000 acre) forest preserve in Drenthe, here in the Netherlands. The main attraction at Boomkroonpad is a path of 125 meters (410 feet) through the tree tops, reaching a height of 22,5 meters (74 feet). Unfortunately it was pouring down on our visit and we didn’t see any birds or wildlife. But still it was an extremely fun walk that we will need to do again once when the weather is better. There is also a very nice visitor center with shop, restaurant and lots of activities and trails.
Entrance to the Boomkroonpad area
At the end of a small underground exhibition area a round staircase brings you up this tower into the trees.
Amy in the tree tops
There were signs along the route telling you about the flora and fauna
Looking down at part of the path
Me at the highest point (22.5 meters)
