Hiking

Via an underground passage of approximately 162 meters you reach the elevated birdwatching hut via a spiral staircase. This is the best place in the Netherlands for the red-necked grebe. You also have a chance of good photos of all kinds of water and marsh birds such as eared grebe, little grebe, garganey, common teal, gadwall, bittern, shoveler and in the autumn osprey. Below, at the entrance of the spiral staircase, there is a sunken photo hut - at water level - for three people from where you have a beautiful view of the nature reserve.
