Manteling van Walcheren, Nature area in Veere, Netherlands

The Manteling van Walcheren extends over 735 hectares of coastal terrain, featuring calcareous dunes, wet valleys, grasslands, and deciduous forests.

The coastline of Manteling van Walcheren has shifted several kilometers inland over centuries due to continuous erosion since medieval times.

Wealthy merchants from Middelburg constructed estates with grand mansions and gardens in the inner dune areas during the 17th century.

The protected area maintains strict darkness policies after sunset to preserve natural biorhythms of nocturnal animals and maintain the visibility of stars.

The oak forests grow exceptionally close to the coastline, forming a natural forest boundary that distinguishes this area from other European coastal regions.
