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'.

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.

The shopping center of Anna Paulowna has different types of shops and parking is free here. Clothing, flowers, gifts, groceries: you will find it all there.

The marina is located on the Hoge Oude Veer with a beautiful view of the mill and surrounded by beautiful fishing and waters. Within walking distance are several restaurants, snack bars, a café and a shopping center. There are also sights nearby, such as the Poldertuin and the Hoenderdaell Zoo.

In de voormalige Hervormde Kerk uit 1855 worden tegenwoordig geen kerkdiensten meer gehouden. In de naastgelegen pastorie bevindt zich een winkeltje met tweedehands spullen.

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.

A yurt is originally a Mongolian nomad tent. This yurt only has an American touch, as it is produced in Colorado. We imported it at the beginning of 2021 and installed the interior ourselves. The yurt is behind a dyke on a meadow next to a farm. From the deck with built-in hot tub you have a wide view of the bulb fields. The yurt is fully equipped. Inside you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a separate toilet.

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.
