Since 2020, the large train marshalling yard has been relocated from behind the main station in the city to De Vork in Haren. In consultation with the residents of Haren, it was decided to create a beautiful green walking park here as well. During the groundworks for the park and the marshalling yard, it emerged that the soil was full of artefacts from the past. The walking park has therefore been transformed into an archaeological walking park where you can learn about these remarkable finds. Among other things, a reconstruction of an Iron Age farmstead has been erected. Stroll along the boardwalks through the greenery and enjoy the various birds that live around the water. There is a serene rust here. You hardly realise you’re so close to the city; the only thing that reminds you of it is the view of the city skyline. From the boardwalks, you can see d’Olle Grieze and the Der Aa Church.
