This nature house was built on the exact spot where a farmer stumbled upon the lost helmet of Viking Rorik with his plow in 1958.Although this helmet was made of wood, it had stood the test of time well and, according to tradition, was in almost perfect condition. The nature house refers in both form and material to Rorik's helmet. This was an early type of Viking helmet with a rather remarkable mirrored saw edge as its contour - much more unpolished than the later steel helmets, much stranger too. The cottage was designed and built by architect Gijs van der Waal, entirely of circular materials.In addition to a kitchen, shower, toilet, a bedroom with double bed, there is also a loft with two single beds.The living room / kitchen is very spacious, with beautiful views over the polder. A dining table with chairs and a relaxing sofa make it complete. In the kitchen you will find everything you need to prepare a delicious meal.
Nature and surroundings
Our cottages are in the North Holland polder, where the Oer-IJ used to be. Now a place with meadow views, many birds (kestrels, buzzards, the short-eared owl) and the occasional blue (KLM) bird flying overhead. From the campsite you can make beautiful bike trips over dikes and through small villages. The beach at Wijk aan zee is also within cycling distance. On the estate you will find besides a mini-camping also an organic farm, organic vineyard, apple and pear orchard. We use as many used materials as possible (circular) to build our cottages. You are welcome to help in the garden or vineyard. The estate is still under construction. A lot has already been done, there is still a lot to do. The good atmosphere is already there. You are more than welcome to taste this atmosphere and to pioneer with us in the polder!
