The town of Valkenburg is also home to several caves that date back to Roman times and the ruins of a castle on top of Dwingelrots (Castle Rock), where you can still see the many secret passageways carved underground leading to and away from the castle.

The Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve is unique because of its large population of Konik horses, semi-feral, free-roaming horses that are native to Poland. The area, which is a mix of wetlands and bushy flatland, also serves as a major bird preserve-black storks, white-tail eagles, and the Eurasian spoonbill all call this place home. Only certain areas of the reserve are open to the public to ensure the animals can live undisturbed.

The shores on Terschelling Island are still home to emergency refuge shelters built long ago for shipwreck victims. Much of the island is a nature preserve, covered in both forests and tidal marshes that extend as far as the eye can see. When the tide is at its lowest, it's possible to walk on the bottom of the Wadden Sea, toes digging deep into the muddy seabanks.
