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, established in 1848, is famous for its five arboretums, which originated in the 19th and 20th centuries as nursery and forestry experiments with conifers.
It is lovely to get lost there now, but various carefully planned walks help you discover the arboretums by theme.
There is also the option of being taken on a tour by a guide who can tell you all sorts of things about the estate. But ultimately, no one can share the secrets of the estate better than the trees themselves.
Like the proud specimens in the Small Pinetum boasting about how they grew no less than 40 meters in 160 years, fluffy Japanese Arborvitae grumbling about the nuisance caused by nuthatches, and Corsican Pines reluctantly making way for sweet chestnuts.
In addition to walks, Landgoed Schovenhorst offers numerous other activities for the whole family; from themed days to workshops, children’s treasure hunts, and theatre performances both indoors and outdoors.
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 at the De Tien Malen museum ( www.detienmalen.nl ) and let yourself be deliciously surprised at Brasserie Schovenhorst.
