🐦 Birds in Oosterschelde National Park
The Oosterschelde is a true bird paradise. You'll see oystercatchers, avocets, and redshanks on the mudflats, while sandwich terns, spoonbills, and egrets search the water for food. In winter, thousands of barnacle geese, curlews, and knots spend the winter here. 🌊🦆
Always movement in the air – new species can be admired every season. 🌿

Hiking
Walking or cycling along the Oosterschelde feels like completely escaping the hustle and bustle. 🌊 The salty air, the call of the birds 🐦, and the wind in your hair 🌬️ evoke a sense of freedom. Sometimes all you hear is the rhythm of the tide and your own footsteps. 🚶♀️

The Oosterschelde is the largest national park in the Netherlands and a paradise for nature and water lovers. 🌿 Here, mudflats, salt marshes, and sandbanks alternate, and you can spot seals and porpoises. 🦭🐬
Known for its tidal nature and rich underwater world with oysters, mussels, and lobster 🦪🦞. Along the dikes and polders, you'll experience expansive views, a wealth of birdlife 🐦, and the power of the ebb and flow of the tides.
A unique part of Zeeland, where land and sea meet every day. 🌅
