On a green hill at the edge of the forest stands the De Helderse Vallei observation tower. The steel structure is 15 meters high, has an open design, and features three platforms. As you climb, you see more and more. At the top, a 360-degree view awaits, as well as a circular bench to sit on for a moment.
Let yourself be surprised by the view
Dunes, sea, forest, and sky – you see it all at once. Thanks to the open staircases and steel railings, you really feel like you are outdoors. The tower is cleverly positioned so that you never look directly at treetops. On a clear day, you can see Texel!
Experience the dark
At night, this place takes on a magical quality. Reflective strips show you the way. The tower is recognized as a starbarn: an official spot to admire the starry sky. Ideal for those who still want to feel the darkness.
Combine with a day in the valley
There is plenty to do in De Helderse Vallei: a barefoot path, city farm, open-air theater, and fun excursions. Perfect for a day in nature with children or friends.
