Park on Utkiek Bassum garbage hill

A rather unusual option for a weekend trip with children. Even the name itself is unusual, Utkiek Bassum translates as “Bassum Lookout” and it's Lower German, a dialect spoken by several million people in Northern Germany and the Netherlands.




Since 1978, the area has been used as a landfill and gradually reached its maximum height of 87 meters. Since 2007, the mountain has been covered with a special protective layer, which effectively protects nature and the environment from possible pollutants.


There are several children's activities built on the mountain, kids will have fun. The park has opening hours, see the official website.


















The park will be expanding in the future.
