Active & nature
Lots to explore in the outdoors!
Gooise Meren is known for its diverse and extensive natural landscape. Go for a walk or bike ride across the heath or in the Bussum forest, take a whisper boat in the Naardermeer’s nature reserve or sail to Fort Island Pampus. Discover the urban greenery of the ramparts in Naarden and Muiden, or in one of the parks. Sail, surf, sup, or relax along the coast of Muiderberg, Muiden or Naarden. In short, there is plenty to explore in the outdoors!
Cycling & walking
Gooise Meren is green and colourful. In the forest and on the heath you can exercise or get some fresh air. But there is more to experience. From treasure hunts to hidden terraces, there is so much to discover!

Boating & water sports
Gooise Meren owes its name to the many beautiful coastal areas and waterways that lie within our municipal boundaries. In the summer, you can paddle, surf, sail, or just relax on a boat. And when it gets colder, we all keep our fingers crossed for natural ice. Put on your ice skates and off you go!
Sport & games
Gooise Meren has plenty of space for sports and games. There are (indoor) playgrounds and petting zoos for children, but there are also plenty of options for older children and adults. Think of an escape room or a jeu de boules court, for example. Athletes can also enjoy a wealth of options, from football and hockey to horse riding and individual sports.
