Outside the fences of the Naaldenveld there are also various activities to do. Some of them were made by the game team of the Naaldenveld. Did you make a nice hike in the neighborhood and would like other scouts to enjoy it too, please mail it to the team: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. We would also like to hear the changes that have to be made in the existing hikes. Always make sure you print the routes just before your stay with us, then you have the most current version. The answers to the quests and hikes are of course not on the internet. That would make it too easy for the hikers! The responsible leaders can request them at the campsite or by mail at the mail address above. All the hikes can be downloaded here.
