Hiking

The freu pond is an old pingo ruin, bordered by birch, beech and mountain ash. The estate was built around 1880 by the Lycklama à Nijeholt family for wood production and the pond was part of the private park. The damsel enlarged the pond around 1900 and had a tea dome built so that her family and guests could linger there as well as boating.

The Freulevijver, located in the Oude Bos between Wijnjewoude and Bakkeveen, is an idyllic and historic place. The forest was created around 1880 by the noble family Lycklama à Nijeholt as a private park and production forest. The pond was created by a dike breach of the nearby Koningdiep, and was enlarged around 1900 by Jonkvrouw Eritia Lycklama à Nijeholt. Although the original tea house and boathouse have disappeared, the location remains a beautiful spot for a picnic, with a natural gazebo that is reminiscent of the former charm of the place.
