De Helderse Vallei

Green and inspiring: discover nature, animals and sustainability in one visit

The Helderse Valley is the place in Den Helder where nature and sustainability converge. You can walk straight from the city into the dunes. Whether you want to play, learn, socialize, or simply relax: it's all possible here.

Discover nature from above

The permanent exhibition offers a bird's-eye view of the region's nature reserves. Walk across a huge map of Den Helder and its surroundings. From dunes to marshes and from beaches to forts: you'll get an instant overview and inspiration.

Sustainable thinking and acting

In het bezoekerscentrum leer je meer over jouw invloed op de natuur. Je vindt hier actuele informatie en interessante vitrines. In het ‘bosatelier’ bekijk je een bijzondere historische collectie van preparaten.

For children and adults

Bij De Helderse Vallei kan jong en oud de natuur beleven. Denk aan workshops, buitenactiviteiten of excursies. Perfect voor een gezinsuitje of een middag buiten de stad.
