For many, the Kralingse Plas lake is THE place to run. It's also a wonderful walk, and people enjoy sailing and canoeing on the lake. From various angles, you have a fantastic view of the Rotterdam skyline.

5/5. A pleasant area for strolling around the lake with a nice choice of paths, windmills, lovely bridges, playgrounds, art objects, a footbridge along the lake, a deer camp, several restaurants and beautiful horses at Manège De Jockey Club.

Nice walking tour, nice event for a good cause, two mobile DJs on the walking route, mobile first aid on the bike, and a warm welcome when reaching the finish

A nice little round in the neighborhood. What a nice recreational area this is! The decking with a view of the Rotterdam skyline is the icing on the cake.
Also nice that there was sun again, that of course makes it all a bit nicer and friendlier 😉👍🏻
