    Tips

    June 29, 2024

    As a bridge tends to do, it also takes you from one side to another. This will help you cross De Pluimpot (the water channel, not the nature reserve of the same name) and enjoy beautiful views over the creek. It's also an ideal place to take out your binoculars if you have them with you to see the waterfowl. Please note: if you are planning a walk in Sint-Maartensdijk with the Pluimpot nature reserve and a stretch of dike, it is best to take the path next to the water to/from the center of Sint-Maartensdijk if you do not want to walk through neighborhoods too much and prefer nature. Sometimes it is better to stand on the bridge for a while, rather than crossing it completely, depending on your walking plans.

      Tholen used to be a series of separate islands with small and large channels in between. The Pluimpot was one of the largest gullies. In 1957, the Pluimpot was completely closed off into a dammed estuary. It is now a high-tide refuge and an important breeding area for coastal birds such as oystercatchers, common terns and avocets. The salt plants and orchids also grow on the dikes and on the banks. This nature reserve can be easily visited via the paths on the dikes. A
      true ornithologist? Don't forget your binoculars!


      De Pluimpot is a relatively small nature reserve with a very large history. The Pluimpot is the last trace of the channel that cut the island of Tholen in two until 1556. It is now a dammed estuary that serves as a high-tide refuge and nesting area for coastal birds. Recreational enthusiasts and bird watchers can also get their money's worth here. It is easy to see (to visit?) thanks to the marked path laid out by Staatsbosbeheer.

      Tholen is an important refuge from high tide and a breeding area for coastal birds such as oystercatchers, common terns and avocets. The Pluimpot was therefore used by these birds for breeding. The salt plants and orchids also seized their opportunity to settle on the dikes and on the edge of the banks.

      The Pluimpot is accessible via the paths on the dikes. Birds can be seen all year round. Immediately next to the path, the bank of the watercourse is overgrown with bush plants.
