Like the proud specimens in the Little Pinetum boasting about how they grew a whopping 40 metres in 170 years, fluffy Japanese Life Trees grumbling about the nuisance of nuthatches and Corsican Pines reluctantly giving way to sweet chestnuts.
Besides walks, Landgoed Schovenhorst offers plenty of other activities for the whole family; from theme days to workshops, children's treasure hunts and theatre performances both indoors and outdoors.
But whatever you do: the forest tower is a must on your visit to the Estate! Climb the 40-metre-high onion tower for an unparalleled view of Putten's most beautiful secret. See also: https://www.vvvputten.nl/en/locaties-overzicht/1710633463/bostoren-schovenhorst.
