Anna's Hoeve is a recreational forest and nature reserve in the municipalities of Hilversum and Laren. It originated in the 1930s as a job creation project in which ornamental ponds and hills were built by the unemployed.
The area with sandy and heathland to the west of the Laarder Wasmeer, called Liebergen, was bought by Gerardus Vrolik, owner of the adjacent Drakenburg Castle, during the so-called heath division after 1836. He had a farm built there in 1844, named after his wife Anna. After land and farm had changed hands a number of times and it had become rather isolated after the construction of the Oosterspoorweg in 1874, the area with Anna's Hoeve was bought in 1910 by jonkheer Van Kretschmar van Veen. In 1931, the municipality of Hilversum bought the now quite feral site.
