Holten, Village in Salland region, Netherlands
Holten is a village in the Salland region situated in rolling countryside with forests and natural areas. The settlement sits near Holterberg and is surrounded by the landscapes of Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park.
The village became known after World War II for the cemetery dedicated to Canadian soldiers established here as a memorial site. This place marks the liberation of the Netherlands during the war.
Local residents speak Standard Dutch alongside Dutch Low Saxon dialect, which includes elements from both Sallands and Tweants linguistic variations.
The place sits on the A1 motorway, which connects Amsterdam and Berlin, offering good vehicle accessibility. Its location near this main road makes it easy to explore the region.
The national park area holds one of the last habitats for black grouse in the Netherlands with special protection during breeding season. These rare birds make the area particularly valuable for nature watchers.
