This is a very nice area with very different species of birds, more than 70 species right now, so visit the area and walk or bike around.
The Bentwoud is a new nature and recreation area between Zoetermeer and Boskoop. In recent years, 2.5 million trees and shrubs have been planted and 80 kilometers of walking and cycling paths have been constructed. The Bentwoud is the largest contiguous forest area in the Randstad (the central city area in The Netherlands) with more than 800 hectares. Although the Bentwoud is still in full development, there are already many special birds, butterflies and plants to be found.
Among the birds you can see here are Sefþvari, Blábrystingur, many geese and ducks, Kattugla and also different species of herons and many Gaukur. And more rare species are sometimes seen here like Kólfönd, Jarpönd, Háleggur, Rindilþvari, Rauðhegri, Nátthegri Flatnefur, Býþjór, Brúnheiðir, Bláheiðir, Laufglói.
