PRACTICAL INFORMATION

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Bosk has many roots. Bosk will open with a celebration on 7 May and start a 3.5 km walk through the city centre of Leeuwarden. This will undoubtedly raise questions. These questions and all other practical information is collected and kept up to date on this page.

TRAFFIC

General

There is no traffic through the forest. When the forest stops its walk, the site will be closed to all traffic except pedestrians. The streets and roads that run through the forest will always be temporarily closed to motorised traffic. Cyclists should dismount and walk with their bikes. That allows pedestrians and playing children to get maximum enjoyment from the forest. Of course buildings in the woods will still be accessible to emergency services at all times.

Delivery times for the restaurants and retailers

The forest will be open from 7:30 am to 11:00 am for deliveries to restaurants and retailers.

Parking

Permit and subscription holders will be offered alternative locations in sections of the city centre where Bosk temporarily makes parking impossible. Permit and subscription holders will be sent a letter with more information.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

During BOSK, Stationsweg will be closed to all traffic on 6, 7 and 8 May, including public transport. These public transport route changes will be in effect on those days:

  • Lines coming from the east and northeast will not run via Blokhuisplein and will divert to Groeneweg and Ruiterskwartier;
  • Lines from the south and south-east will run Julianalaan and Stephensonviaduct;
  • •Lines from the north and west will run the normal route.

On 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 May, buses will follow the normal route via Stationsweg, but Stationsweg will be closed to other traffic on those days.
