Norgerholt

Norgerholt is a forest area in Noordenveld with dense tree cover spread across about 25 hectares, featuring sturdy oak and beech forests mixed with extensive holly populations. Walking paths run through these different woodland sections, showing the mix of plant life found here.

This forest is documented in records from 1585, when local farmers harvested its oak trees for building traditional structures in the region. That long history of use shows how important the woodland was to the area's development.

This place holds meaning for the local farming tradition and preserves landscape features that reveal how communities settled and worked here over centuries. The es of Norg and the Westervelde burial mound are visible reminders of this long human history in the area.

The woodland paths are kept with minimal maintenance to support natural forest development and maintain a wilder character. Visitors should expect muddy ground and natural obstacles, especially during wetter periods.

The forest is home to the Norger wall moss, a plant that exists nowhere else in the world since its discovery in 1924. This rare species makes the area a special place for nature watchers and botanical enthusiasts.
