Terschellingの天然記念物・トップ18

Explanation of the sign: The Griltjeplak is an old dune valley where a lot of calcareous groundwater still surfaces, also known as seepage. This is unique because there are few valleys left on the island where wet dune nature relies on lime. Waterpracht restores the natural water levels as much as possible. For the Griltjeplak, this means that the water level will actually be slightly lower. Currently, the dam and weir ensure that the water level remains high. This is a relatively large amount of rainwater, which negates the influence of the existing calcareous seepage water. By lowering the water level, the ratio of seepage water to rainwater improves, which benefits the vegetation in the dune valley. The dam you are standing on is called the Weeversdam. It was constructed at the beginning of the last century to prevent the dunes from drying out. South of the dam, the dune valleys were being drained on a large scale for afforestation...

many ducks

Nice view, only open during the week

also beautiful

Walking along the Noordvader beach you will see this somewhat hidden inland lake in the distance at the height of the dune breach. Don't be put off by the warning signs about the former shooting range and walk along it and enjoy an oasis of peace and birds.

A beautiful lighthouse and great photo opportunities!🫵😉

Just before you walk from the dune onto the beach, the path is densely covered with many blackberry bushes, but it is worth it!

The famous small lighthouse of Vlieland on the high dune. It is a beautiful specimen that you can also visit again. The view on a clear day is beautiful over the North Sea, Wadden Sea, Texel, Terschelling and of course Vlieland itself.
