Into nature

Nature in the Duin en Bollenstreek is wonderfully diverse. From beaches and dunes to forests, flower fields, and polders, this region offers a unique landscape in every season.

Explore the area by bike, on foot, or from the water. Enjoy the fresh sea air, open space, and peaceful surroundings. The Duin en Bollenstreek is the perfect place to relax and recharge in nature.

 

See, beaches and dunes

Take a stroll through the woods or the dunes and enjoy the magnificent panoramic views from the high dune tops. After climbing a beach entrance, you will have an endless view over the sea and you can hear the waves rolling.  

The dune areas of the Bulb Region are an experience in themselves. You can enjoy wonderful cycling and fantastic walks while you enjoy the unprecedented silence. And with a bit of luck, you will stand eye to eye with a deer or fox and discover special plants.

From the dunes, you can walk right onto the beach and breathe in the healthy salty sea air. You can enjoy the beach all year round!

Being active in nature - Discover nature your own way!

Polders and lakes

When you think of the polders, you immediately have an image of green meadows, small ditches and characteristic windmills. It is no different in the polders of the Bulb Region. The thing that makes our polders unique is their location! 

In the area around the Kager lakes with reed canals, waterways and islands, the polders and lakes are a relief from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can completely relax by bike, on foot or on the water. 

On your journey of discovery through the polders, you will cross the habitat of many birds, the historic Blaarkop cow breed and the charming farm shops with delicious regional products.

Historic heritage

Extraordinary nature can also be found around the many country estates and stately mansions in the Bulb Region. In the beautifully laid out gardens, sometimes with a layout dating back centuries, you can imagine yourself in times long gone. 

Nowadays, you can stroll - away from the hustle and bustle - along leafy paths and lanes. Be sure to look up as well. Woodpeckers, owls and pigeons nest in the hollows of the old trees. In spring, grey herons make large nests in the tops of the pines.
