This is the only remaining 'star forest' and one of the oldest baroque forests in The Netherlands. The German prince Wilhelm Von Hessen-Kassel had it designed in 1712. The lanes crossing the forest come together in the centre forming a star pattern. The four different parts each have their own pattern: square, circular, diamond shape and octagonal. The forest covers 60 hectares and it boasts several works of art, including one by Rien Claessen called Inanitas, which means ‘open space’. The latest addition is Pavilion Grotto, designed by Australian artist Callum Morton. The Old Waranda is a relaxing place that's ideal for running and you’ll see many people doing just that.
