The province of North Holland has a very varied landscape; busy, urban areas in the Randstad and quiet, open areas in the Kop van Noord-Holland. The province is surrounded by the sea, but there are also lakes, polders, rivers and canals in the province. This variation in landscape ensures that you can never get bored in nature in North Holland. This makes it an attractive area to discover nature. Going into nature is good for your health and according to The Nature Pyramid, everyone should go out into nature every week on a regional scale. It also recommends visiting a different province each month; the connection with Utrecht, South Holland and Flevoland is good and it is also fun to discover nature here!
