10 Nature & Wildlife Areas in South Holland Province That You Shouldn't Miss

November 15, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Encompassing two of the Netherlands’ three largest cities (Rotterdam and The Hague), Zuid-Holland (South Holland) is also home to important towns like Leiden, Gouda and Delft. And many lovely smaller towns dot the gorgeous green landscape. Alphen aan den Rijn has several interesting attractions, including Dutch history theme park Archeon. Picturesque Kinderdijk, birthplace of the legend of the Cat and the Cradle, also has many windmills that together are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Natuurmonumenten Nieuwkoopse Plassen

Varend over de Nieuwkoopse Plassen kom je achter alle geheimen van het moeras. Van een klein spannend slootje vaar je zo de open plas op. Ook wandelend is deze parel in het Groene Hart te ontdekken. Van ruige paden door weilanden tot het sprookjesachtige Lusthof De Haeck.

Tiengemeten

Reviewed By Akxsel - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Some kilometers away from the main route Rotterdam-Antwerp (A4) there's this nature reserve. Only accessible by a ferry (6 EUR). Birdlife, beavers. Lovely trails, child-friendly. Untouched nature. Nice small museum. Almost complete darkness at night.

Natuur en Recreatiegebied Broekpolder

Reviewed By dontneedtoknowforsur - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Beautifull area, kind of forest in very crowded 'randstad'. Few walking paths, very nice mountainbike track! Sushi restaurant and on the other side of the highway (with a bridge) is a 'surfplas' an other area, with a restaurant. To go to the broekpolder you can take tramway 24 to the end, it's a minute walk to the west.
