Elf doors route

(1.0 km)

A fairy story? Perhaps, but the Hollandse Hout woods is also home to some real elves, honestly! They may be difficult to spot, but you’ll certainly find their front doors. Look closely and you might find Kick’s door, who likes to play with his friend the finch. Or how about where Lieve lives, who’s always out and about with her friend the ladybird. Maite lives here too in the woods, together with her friend the mouse. The elves all live along this route with their five other little elven friends.

Come along soon and experience an afternoon full of elven fun!

There’s a bag ready and waiting for you at the Oostvaardersplassen outdoor centre’s desk with something very special indeed: a genuine wizard’s wand. Pick up your bag and head out into the forest. Each elf’s door has an assignment. After you complete the assignment you can whisper a secret spell and then take the animal that comes with the task. And to top it all off, at the end you can celebrate ‘the feast of all seasons’ together with your new found animal friends with your very own feast of fizzy drinks and cookies!
