What people say

"How many places do you know that have a small forest right in the middle of the city? Probably not many, but Den Haag is one of them! The Haagse Bos is the favourte place for a lunch walk of those working closeby, and is visited by residents at all times of day. In winter, the pond sometimes freezes over, making it a popular spot for ice skating. In any season, the Haagse Bos functions as a refuge from busy city life. To make sure it's a good place for animal inhabitants as well, there are no street lanterns at night, so it gets properly dark in between the trees. The only downside is that a major road cuts the Haagse Bos in half, so be careful when crossing. At the south-western edge of the forest you will find a large grass area, called 'het Malieveld'. This is used as an event location, so there's often something going on. Music events, food festivals and demonstrations are often held there."
