On a green hill at the edge of the forest stands the Helderse Vallei observation tower. The steel structure is 15 meters high, open-plan, and has three platforms. As you climb, you'll see more and more. At the top, a 360-degree view awaits, along with a circular bench where you can relax for a while.
Be surprised by the view
Dunes, sea, forest, and sky – you see it all at once. Thanks to the open staircases and steel railings, you really feel like you are outdoors. The tower is cleverly positioned so that you never look directly at treetops. On a clear day, you can see Texel!
Experience the dark
’At night, this place takes on a magical quality. Reflective strips guide you. The tower is a designated starbarn: an official place to admire the starry sky. Ideal for those who still want to experience the darkness.
Combine with a day in the valley
There is plenty to do in the Helderse Valley: a barefoot path, city farm, open-air theater, and fun excursions. Perfect for a day in nature with children or friends.
