The Helderse Vallei is the place in Den Helder where nature and sustainability come together. You can walk straight from the city into the dunes. Whether you want to play, learn, meet people, or just do nothing for a while: it is all possible here.
Discover nature from above
In the permanent exhibition, you get a bird’s-eye view of the region’s nature reserves. Walk across a huge map of Den Helder and the surrounding area. From dunes to marshes and from beaches to forts: you gain an immediate overview and inspiration.
Sustainable thinking and acting
In the visitor center, you will learn more about your impact on nature. Here you will find up-to-date information and interesting display cases. In the ‘forest studio,’ you can view a special historical collection of taxidermy specimens.
For children and adults
At De Helderse Vallei, young and old can experience nature. Think of workshops, outdoor activities, or excursions. Perfect for a family outing or an afternoon outside the city.
