Beach rides, lessons and recreational horses at this small stable in Den Helder

The Balgzandpolder is entirely designed for birds. You always see birds here resting or looking for food. At high tide in the Wadden Sea there are extra birds to be seen here. They can often be admired from a short distance via a viewing screen. Birds that you can see, for example, are spoonbills, many species of ducks, large groups of oystercatchers and redshanks and amongst them rarer birds such as spotted redshanks and greenshanks.

Welcome to our comfortable B&B, located in a beautiful nature reserve, within walking distance of the beach, sea and dunes.

The Helderse Vallei is the starting point of the 4 well-marked canoe routes that Den Helder has, with various jetties along the way. In addition, Den Helder has various waterways that are easily accessible for canoes. The village route (purple route, 15 km), the southernmost route, runs along the outer edges of Julianadorp.

In the center of Den Helder you will find Bar style. Come and visit us for a drink. We also have a terrace where in the summer season, in collaboration with colleagues on Breewaterplein, regular performances take place which creates a very cozy atmosphere.
