Balklandpark Harlingen
Balklandpark Harlingen
Just behind the sea dike lies Balkland Park. In the past, this was where timber rafters processed wood transported from Scandinavia. Later, the area was transformed into a sports park. Today, Balkland Park is a pleasant place to walk, exercise, and enjoy nature.
Birds in the Park
Thanks to its varied mix of trees, shrubs, grasslands, and water, the park provides an attractive habitat for many bird species. The colourful European goldfinch can be seen here throughout the year, especially among the teasels. In spring, songbirds such as the chiffchaff, willow warbler, and Eurasian blackcap fill the park with their songs. During summer, flowering plants, butterflies, and dragonflies attract attention, while in autumn you may spot woodpeckers, European robins, and goldcrests. With a bit of luck, you might even catch sight of a common kingfisher, common kestrel, or Eurasian sparrowhawk.

Remains of the Atlantic Wall in Harlingen
Remains of the Atlantic Wall in Harlingen
The bunkers at Harlingen were part of the Atlantic Wall: the more than 6,000-kilometer-long German defense line from Norway to Spain. The Atlantic Wall is one of the largest structures of the 20th century.
The line was built during the Second World War between 1942 and 1945 to prevent an Allied invasion of the Western European mainland from the sea. The Atlantic Wall was a series of separate smaller and larger support points that could give each other fire support.
In many cases they consisted of bombproof bunkers, sometimes with a wall and roof thickness of at least two meters of reinforced concrete. Due to a lack of labour, equipment and fuel, only 510 bunkers of the planned 2000 had been built in the Netherlands. In the English Garden in Harlingen is a German bunker that was part of the Atlantic Wall. It concerns a Communications Command Post with which the Germans coordinated the Frisian coastal defences.
