    Tips

    Quackjeswater is one of the two large dune lakes in Voornes Duin. It was created in the 17th century when a growing row of dunes closed an old creek from the sea. The water probably owes its remarkable name to the night heron (or as people wrote at the time: quack), a night heron that used to be common here. Nowadays this bird is very rare in our country and is rarely seen in the Quackjeswater.

      This is a great place to spot waterfowl and migratory birds. Bring your camera or binoculars.

        An awful lot of birds. Including the Spoonbill.
