Forest Pond and Wooden Bridge Bos Elfbergen

Highlight • Lake

In the Bos Elfbergen lies a beautiful pond that you can admire from an idyllic wooden bridge. This largest forest in Gaasterland, created in the 19th century, offers a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees that give the whole a fairytale atmosphere. Walk or cycle along the winding paths and enjoy the peace, the view of the water and the surrounding nature.

Schwarzlurpsburg Bridge, Bos Elfbergen

Highlight • Bridge

The “Bos Elfbergen” forest is the largest forest in Gaasterland. It is one of the forests that were planted in the 19th century by Baron Van Swinderen. This forest is home to coniferous and deciduous tree species of all ages. The adjacent “Wyldemerk” is a nature reserve with an idyllic lake. The special nature of “Wyldemerk” has ensured that this piece of land has been declared a dragonfly reserve.
In summer, around 35 species of dragonflies can be found here.

Part of the “Elfbergen” forest has been designated a dog forest. Dogs are allowed to run around here without a leash (as long as they are supervised)

HISTORY OF THE KIPPENBURG MANOR

Baron Oncko van Swinderen (1775 - 1850) from Groningen built the Kippenburg manor house around 1830. There he also founded a chicken yard, to which this name refers. Oncko's father came from Groningen, his mother came from the Frisian van Wyckel family, who had many properties in Gaasterland. Six generations later, the house is still owned by a direct descendant, Jkvr. A.M.J. by Panhuys. From about 1854 to 1985 Kippenburg was used as a guest house/inn. Partly due to its beautiful location in the green heart of Gaasterland, this was one of the most famous resorts in Friesland. Nowadays the villa can be rented in its entirety for groups. Both the exterior and the layout of the building are largely unchanged.

Kippenburg is a National Monument and NSW property. The property is surrounded by the Star Numan and Lycklama forests, among others. The surrounding forests previously belonged to the family. (Friesland.nl)
