A large wetland area with reed plains, rugged grasslands, ponds, surrounded by forests: a true bird paradise of international value. These are the Oostvaardersplassen, part of the Nieuw Land National Park. More than 50 years ago, nature in southern Flevoland created this vast swamp area. Geese, spoonbills and cormorants soon found their way to the Oostvaardersplassen, as did deer, foxes, hares, bats and butterflies. And since 2006, even the white-tailed eagle nests there. In this bird-rich swamp area, people and nature work together in a special way. You will encounter Heck cattle, Konik horses and red deer along the way. They keep the grasslands open in a natural way with their grazing. And they in turn demand care and management. Discover this bird-rich wetland and experience how each season has its own dynamics and surprising developments.

A park that was created by accident. The wildlife has such a special flora and fauna that an international rewarded movie has been made about it ("de nieuwe wildernis / the new wildernes"). A must see for nature lovers! It is home to a lot of special birds, mammals and insects. You will also find hundreds of cattle breeders, conic horses and deer. In recent years even sea eagles have been spotted!
