Aftermovie De Grote Schijn

What our visitors say:

Fantastic light experience. Completely different compared to, say, Glow in Eindhoven, which is in a city. This is in a dark forest, where light and sound interact with the surroundings in an impressive manner. Wonderful to see and experience! The trees, grounds and surroundings have been used to accentuate the play of light in a wonderful way.

Marlous de Haan

Awesome! Really great fun to do. Just walking around and being amazed by nature and the light show. Very nice!

Kyra Kath

Very well done. An amazing experience. The light effects and music create an almost magical atmosphere.

Jan van Vulpen

It was a fantastic experience! We will go back again next year.

Maaike van Santen

It was magical! Nature illuminated so beautifully. It was worth every euro. The children were watching in breathless wonder. Thank you!

Mirjam Kroese

Simply a beautiful forest walk. Gives a whole new dimension to a forest walk.

Talitha Diederen

So beautiful to see how they manage to bring the forest to life through light and sound. They make you realise that nature is a huge living creature that we need to take care of.

Jeanne Mast-Horsten

Amazing experience impossible to explain or show on film or photo. You really have to experience this for yourself.
