Recreatiegebied Henschotermeer — Attraction in Woudenberg

We spent the whole day at this place, and we absolutely loved it! We had a fairly long walk to the lake after taking the train, but the walk was wonderful. The lake is surrounded by a beautiful pine forest, and the scent of the sun-warmed trees creates an atmosphere of true relaxation in nature. The water in the lake warms up nicely, so children can swim comfortably. We felt like we were at a resort—it was so cozy and relaxing. There are also fun activities, such as a water pump installation where water flows through channels, which kids really enjoy playing with. Another fun activity is walking on logs over the water, which adds a bit of excitement. There are plenty of toilets available on-site, which is very convenient. Entrance is paid and costs 3.50, and tickets can be purchased on the website in advance or on the same day. We bought our tickets the same day by going to the website right at the entrance. It was very peaceful and beautiful here, and we will definitely come back again. We went as a family: my wife, our 10-year-old child, and I. We all really...

Beautiful place and so nice on a hot day but the organization is very bad. 4 years ago I came here and you could still pay at the entrance, now you are at the entrance you need to scan a QR code and pay online, employees are useless they see people don't understand and they keep talking together without helping. When you managed to pay online you only receive the email 6min later. + same for parking !!

Also, we arrived at 4:30PM and left the carpark around 8:10PM, and because the place is closing at 8PM, we had to pay extra for the car park (more than 10euros for 4h when a day ticket costs 7,5e, that's really abusive !) I will never come again because of...

Hemschotermeer is a beautiful place to cool down and enjoy the hot summer. It looks like something you would only find in an exotic country. To be convinced just look at the many photos. The entrance is free of charge if you go by bike. If you go by car you have to pay parking costs. They are working on a face recognition system to charge visitors. Luckily there are so many issues with this system that it is not yet active. The place has many toilets and showers. These are clean but close early (18:00 or 19:00). There is also a mobile ice cream and fries van if you get hungry. As this place is in the forest and the weather has been unusually hot for a long period, there are many bugs that might make your stay not so comfortable. So please choose your...
