The Nieuwe Meer is the biggest cruising area in Amsterdam. 24x7 cruising here. Recently, local administrators tried to prohibit cruising activities by having huge great cows wandering about there...
Fortunately for visitors they failed, because it is still very popular. Park your car at the McDonalds and just walk up into the wood.
AYOR, due to recent attacks at night.

A good friend of mine was sadly beaten up in De Nieuwe Meer just two days ago so you never really know about this place. Luckily he only has had minor bruises from this most unfortunate incident!!!

Dear Anonymous 2 days ago
From my personal experiences, this place is on the whole quite safe (there were some incidents though every now & then). I would however suggest not carrying any valuables or cash with you when you go there. The best time is whenever it is rather warm & dry from june until september. Have fun!!!

How safe it is for tourists searching fun in the night? And also, is there any "hot season" to go?

Zou graag in contact komen met mannen die daar cruisen!!!

@ a mom
There are so many places for families and children, so why not stay away from this very small area which is so popular for adult men.
(I think the Stadsdeel made a huge mistake by developing the wrong part of De Oeverlanden as a family area with beaches. They should have developed the area which is used by men now. And the current family area should be left as it was before the renovation. This way the families would not have to cross the (naked/cruising) men area. But families can still use the bike path north of the cruising area.)
A (former?) gay friendly city needs some remote places for men to cruise and be naked.
And please keep in mind a lot of in-the-closet-men who are afraid to go to gay bars only have these cruising places to meet other men.

hi all. although i think it should be possible there are places like this, i'm wondering if you could take it into account it's also a place for children and families during the day. i really like the surroundings and lots of families with me. i know a lot of people avoiding the place more and more because of the children. i hope we (families & gays) can enjoy the place both, without shocking anyone.
thank you.

When it gets dark, this place really heats up especially during the warmer evenings!

Zeker rond lunch of na 1700 uur is het er feest... Geile kantoorkerels of vertegenwoordigers die voor ze naar huis gaan nog een verzetje zoeken... meerdere malen knallende sex in pak gehad :-p
Hou het schoon, eb gedraag je... dan kunnen we hier nog lang met elkaar genieten...

Nice hot multi-culti action. Love it. Keep the place clean!

i so do agree with mr. hub beerens, commented on july 2nd 2009!
safe, clean, no littering, and play it cool in this (cumming) summer :-)

Als groenmedewerker werk ik vanuit Stadsdeel Slotervaart in de Oeverlanden. Het is schandalig en respectloos om het natuurgebied zo ernstig te vervuilen met de rotzooi die de cruisende man achterlaat. Het is onverantwoord om een gedooggebied zo te vervuilen. Als homo schaam ik me voor dit genante gedrag om je condoom en andere rotzooi op de grond te gooien. Heb aub respect voor de natuur en de medewerkers en neem je rotzooi mee!
Users of cruisingearea 'de Oeverlanden' : stop littering your own playground; keep this beautiful place clean!

ook geschikt voor vrouwen, al lijken er de laatste jaren helaas steeds minder te komen

Pure hit or miss but it can be fun at times if one gets lucky! Involves lots and lots of walking in any case as it's really huge. Do wear outdoor shoes if you were to come here as it can be very muddy at times.

Voor het discussieprogramma Zwart Wit van AT5 zoek ik een cruiser/naaktloper die in debat wil gaan over de hardere aanpak van bezoekers van het Nieuwe Meer gebied. Opnames zijn morgenavond, graag contact opnemen op nummer 020-5551829.
