It consists of two spatially separated parts. The landscape protection area is a depression area in the marshland and is therefore considered worthy of protection. The Norderkolk, which gives it its name, is around one hectare in size and is an area that was flushed out after a dike breach as the most easterly point of the Dollard breakthrough in 1509. In the depression, a eutrophic shallow lake has formed that slowly silts up.
