What reviewers say

Visitors praise Zonneweide for its vast green space, abundant nature, and diverse recreational activities like cycling, swimming, and visiting the goat farm, offering a peaceful escape from the city. However, some find navigation challenging due to limited signage in English and the overhead noise from planes passing due to its proximity to the airport.

About this place Zonneweide (Amsterdamse Bos)

The Zonneweide is the signposted naturist field on the Amstelveen side of the Amsterdamse Bos, the large forest park south of Amsterdam. Nude recreation is permitted here from 1 April to 30 September. It is officially a mixed meadow, but a large share of the regulars are gay men, especially along the wooded edges. Treat it as a sunbathing spot, not a cruising ground; the forest management is clear on that point. There are no facilities on the meadow itself, so bring water, food and something to lie on. Entry is free, like the rest of the Bos, and it gets busy on warm weekend afternoons.
