Vroongronden - Nature
The Vroongronden lie on the eastern side of the Kop van Schouwen, between Burgh-Haamstede and Renesse. The open grassland has a rich history and today it is a valuable nature reserve.
- Ancient grasslands: Originally used as communal pastures for villagers, now a unique cultural landscape preserved through the centuries.
- Abundant flora: In the wet meadows you’ll find rattles, ragged robin, devil’s-bit scabious and other special plants.
- Grazing cattle: Natural grazing with cattle keeps the grasslands open and ensures a varied vegetation.
- Historical significance: The word “vroon” refers to medieval common lands used by several villages.
- Peaceful experience: The Vroongronden are an oasis of silence and space, where you can experience nature while walking or cycling.
- Unique nature: The Vroongronden are part of the Natura 2000 area Kop van Schouwen, rich in rare flora and fauna.
