As is well known, a fracture is not just a mathematical term or an injury, but also refers to swamp or moorland. Here in the Niels Broek you walk along wet meadows, through groves and forests and along ditches and streams. Alder trees grow along its edge and cuckoo pinks and meadowsweet thrive in its damp ground.

The countless streams and ponds in the swamp forests are a paradise for toads, frogs and salamanders. In spring you can admire cowslips and wood anemones, followed in summer by mullein, for example.

Entrance to the nature reserve at Korte Ameldijk

Highlight • Forest

Entrance to the nature reserve on Korte Hameldijk. A fascinating walk through marshland forests, meadows, and freshwater salt marshes. The latter are unique in Europe. Exploring the marshland in rainy weather... it's best to wear waterproof footwear. It can get quite flooded here.

Tolhuis Ferry Tavern & Restaurant

Ideal stopping place to strengthen the inner being.

Laarhof Gatehouse

Highlight • Monument

The striking gatehouse is the only remaining remnant of the Laarhof that dates from the Spanish era. The memorial stone 1931 refers to Mr. Ravenstijn who had the building restored. The coat of arms, with 3 pile drivers, can also be processed above the Poortgebouw. Striking are the 2 turrets, each of which has a characteristic shape. One has a pear on the other an apple ... so it is also called the castle 'between apple and pear'
