Staelduinse Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Staelduinse forest is the only remaining natural forest in the Westland. It was created after 1850 on a sand ridge that the Meuse laid down over the course of centuries and later formed into a dune. Beech avenues have been laid out in the forest, which beautifully accentuate the hills. The name Staelduinen is said to be derived from the steel pins with which fishermen secure their nets in the Meuse at high tide. At low tide, the fish that swam with the river current became stuck in it. The western part of the area consists of dune grasslands, meadows and hay fields. There are many mushrooms and stinze plants in the forest. You will also find various bats here at dusk, which come from the bunkers in the area in search of food. More information in the visitors' cherry center d'Oude Koestal.

Staelduinse Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Staelduinse forest is the only remaining natural forest in the Westland. It originated after 1850 on a sand ridge that the Maas laid down over the centuries and later blew up into a dune. Beech avenues have been planted in the forest, which beautifully accentuate the hilly areas. The name Staelduinen is said to be derived from the steel pins with which fishermen secured their nets in the Maas at high tide. At low tide, the fish that swam along with the river current got stuck in them. The western part of the area consists of dune grasslands, meadows and hayfields. The forest is home to many mushrooms and stinze plants. You will also find various bats here at dusk, which search for food from the bunkers in the area.

Birdwatching Hide Solleveld & Kapittelduinen

Highlight • Structure

When you stand on this lookout tower, you don't actually see anything special. You look at greenhouses and on the other side against greenery. There is no view. Completely built in the wrong place. If you want to see birds, use the bird watching hut 100m away, a photo of which is also attached here. Not worth it.
