On Saturday, July 6th, stroll with the nature guide from Landschap Noord-Holland through Nollen-Zuid, formerly a boring bulb-growing area, now a true asset to the landscape, with unique salt-tolerant plants.

From an old piece of bulb field to beautiful dunes
\n<\/b>Right next to station Den Helder-Zuid is the Nollen-Zuid nature reserve. It's located on a plot of land that was once used as a training ground for the army, a motocross track, and once a bulb field.
\nAt the beginning of this century, the North Holland Landscape Agency redesigned the area with dunes and wet valleys. There are many transitions from dry to wet.
\nWhen the area was developed, the old Wadden Sea bed was brought to the surface again, allowing many plant species that prefer salty conditions to grow, such as the sea aster.<\/p>\n
