Itinerary description

The hike passes wet woodland, quaking bogs and fen meadows and continues on a low grassy embankment with views on the beautiful wetlands of the Lakes of Tienhoven, home to many bird species such as the black-tailed godwit, spoonbill and black tern. If you visit this nature reserve during the last weekend of the month between March and October, volunteer guides will be present to show you one of the most interesting, cultural phenomena of the Netherlands: a duck decoy. Highly recommended!
