National Park Nieuw Land

The Netherlands' newest national park was created by people and is literally at the bottom of the Zuiderzee. Here you will also find a true bird paradise: the Oostvaardersplassen. The marshland area combines rough grasslands, reed plains, woods and lakes. Although southern Flevoland was only created some 50 years ago, birds and other animals know how to find it. Cormorants and spoonbills live there, but also bats, deer and foxes. Even the white-tailed eagle has been breeding there since 2006. Konik horses and Heck cattle also graze there.
