Take your family (or friends) through the Kotterbos in the Oostvaardersplassen. It is only a short walk through nature, but you will encounter many unusual plants, (low) trees and many butterflies and insects along the way. You might also spot a jay, goldcrest or golden oriole. The Kotterbos family path is a walking route to really let go of the hectic everyday life and enjoy nature.
The Kotterbos Family Path crosses the Nature Boulevard, a narrow strip through the Kotterbos with water and nature-friendly banks. At the end of the Natuurboulevard is a small hill, which you can walk up as an addition to this route. Otherwise, follow the dark blue route.

The eastern part of the Kotterbos serves as a resting area for red deer in winter. This concerns the area east of the Nature Boulevard. The area is not accessible at that time; this walk is then diverted. Notice of the closure can be read on the Oostvaardersplassen foresters' blog (in Dutch). Dogs are welcome in this area, provided they are kept on a lead.
