The most beautiful secret of Putten.

All trees in Putten tell a story, but it is the trees of the Schovenhorst Estate that tell the most beautiful stories. The old estate, founded in 1848, is famous for its five tree gardens that were created in the 19th and 20th centuries as nursery and forestry experiments with conifers.

Now it is nice to wander around, but various carefully planned walks help you discover the tree gardens by theme.

There is also the option to be taken in tow by a guide, who can tell you all about the estate. But ultimately, no one can share the estate’s secrets better than the trees themselves.

Such as the proud specimens in the Little Pinetum that boast about how they grew no less than 40 meters in 160 years, fluffy Japanese Trees of Life that grumble about the nuisance of nuthatches and Corsican Pines that reluctantly make way for sweet chestnuts.

In addition to walks, Landgoed Schovenhorst offers many other activities for the whole family; from theme days to workshops, children’s treasure hunts and theater performances both indoors and in the open air.

But whatever you do: the forest tower is a must during your visit to the Estate! Climb the 40-meter-high observation tower for an unparalleled view of Putten’s most beautiful secret.

Discover the secret of Putten’s history in the De Tien Malen museum ( www.detienmalen.nl ) and be pleasantly surprised at Brasserie Schovenhorst.
