The Subsidence was created by the construction of the Amsteldiepdijk. By using the wrong material for the dike, the unstable subsurface was pushed aside. This resulted in a sandbar which is called the subsidence. Salt water from the Wadden Sea seeps under the Amsteldiepdijk. As a result, the reed and grasslands of the settlement have become salty and that is rare. We therefore do everything we can to properly maintain these parts. Here you will find endangered plant species such as real spoon leaf and salt herb. Various orchids grow in the reed land.

The foundation offers the tiger workshops to make people aware of the precarious situation of these animals in the wild and in captivity. The proceeds of the workshop all go towards the realisation of the foundation’s objectives.

The Poldertuin is a park ('Little Keukenhof') featuring spring flowers such as hyacinths, daffodils, tulips, and special bulb and tuber crops. The flower bulbs have been provided by bulb growers from the region. A group of volunteers, with the help of the Municipality of Hollands Kroon, ensures that there is a beautiful garden to admire every year. The garden is in bloom and at its most beautiful from mid-March to mid-May. The garden is open all year round. Admission is free. Tip: combine a visit to the Poldertuin with the Flower Days.

B & B De Goudvissenkom offers you a nice sitting-room with t.v. And WIFI. The owners do not have pets anymore, but adjust to those of another and do not find it a problem if you bring one. The B & B is located in a quiet residential area, a 10-minute walk from a train station, a shopping mall with various eateries, a zoo and a long-distance footpath plus bike path!

At the 'gate' of Anna Paulowna, the entrance to the beautiful polder, you will find Restaurant WIJS. Chef Duncan and Hostess Marjo are happy to take you on a culinary journey. The local cuisine takes trips to magical places and the wines mainly come from the 'old world'.

Our Gallery Doolaard and studio "de Keesschuur". Located in the middle of the bulb fields in the Anna Paulowna polder, it is surprising and it is a surprise – colourful – different than usual. A place where your creativity is shaken up. Where painting is done. Exhibited. Played. Where people meet.
