Geniedijk Route (green)

The Geniedijk Route (green) from starting point Fort bij Hoofddorp leads past the Geniedijk, the Wandelbos walking forest, orchards, a petting zoo and young green spaces developed to compensate for the development of Schiphol airport. Wandelbos Hoofddorp was a job creation project from the crisis years before the Second World War.

There is an owl roosting site and a heron colony, where spoonbills sometimes also occupy the nests. The contrast with the Groene Carré and the Buitenschot land art park on the northeast beach of Hoofddorp is great, with a view of the metropolitan landscape.
