Dunes, Woods and Big Parks Around The Hague, 8 of 12: Madestein Recreation Area


Madestein is a large recreation area on the city's southwest edge, laid out from 1969 on old polder land across from Loosduinen. Together with Ockenburgh and De Uithof it forms one long green belt.
Inside is Heempark H.J. Bos, an educational garden that recreates the plant life of different dune landscapes, and the rebuilt foundations of a 13th-century stone house, left on view for visitors.
