Walking through Amstelland
The special feature of Amstelland is that you can walk from the city right towards the nature. You will find yourself in a green oasis that’s so close by Amsterdam and Amstelveen. Space, critters and a peaceful surrounding, and that all in the backyard of Amsterdam.
Widgeons and godwits
Amstelland is not just for urban hikes a revelation, even the regular hiker will discover new things. You will especially find birds, Widgeons, shovelers and gadwalls. Also, you can observe godwits from one of observation huts.
Peats
The Amstelland is located between Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Diemen and Ouder-Amstel. There are two lakes in the area where you can walk around it, the Ouderkerkerplas and Gaasperplas. This peats area exists with willow, oak and ash. The Hoge Dijk is a bog area with Reed land and marsh plants. Further up north you can find the former Floriade park with rosarium, botanic and other beautiful plantings. There are also animals in Amstelland and with some luck you will see a weasel, ermine or polecat.
Planning a hiking trip through Amstelland? Make your trip complete with an overnight stay in one of the Van der Valk hotels. You can also choose for one of the offers listed below.
