    The Westerplas is one of the few places on the island with fresh water. From the viewing cabin you can clearly see how many birds make grateful use of this beautiful puddle.

      Easily accessible from the bike path, suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.

          The cul-de-sac leads quickly from the bike/hiking path to a hut from where the birds can be observed well.

            Here you can marvel at the spoonbill colony, a special highlight!
