Hiking

The island with its small country estate is called "Het Kleine Erf" (Little Erf). When the Amsterdam ophthalmologist and botanist Johann Albert Luyken (1785-1867) acquired Landfort House in 1823, he had ambitious renovation plans. In 1825, he commissioned the renowned landscape architect Jan David Zocher Jr. (1791-1870) to design a landscape park. Jan David Zocher designed the island of "Het Kleine Erf" and the entire park.

Today, several old and remarkable trees from that era still stand on the island. There are winding paths, embankments, flowerbeds, flowering shrubs, and numerous surprising vistas.

Hiking

Very nice and well-kept facility. There is a moat around it.
Today's country estate (house and park) was laid out at the beginning of the 19th century. Landfort is a so-called complex historic country estate, where a monumental house with outbuildings forms a unit with a surrounding park, garden or forest. The country estate became the property of the Landfort Heritage Foundation in 2017.

Cycling

Access for bicycles via this circular path around the Huis Landfort with a view of the bridge. There are good information boards along the circular path with information about the Haus Landfort and its history.
