Tips

The Groot Eiland always has a somewhat magical sound. Creeks enclose the central area which is privately owned. In the southeastern part there is a walking path up to the so-called 8th Shortening. A little more to the west, a bird observation hut has been built on the grounds of Staatsbosbeheer. From there you have a beautiful view over the creeks, meadows and forests of the Groot Eiland.
It is not uncommon for buzzards or harriers to hover above the meadows and in the spring lapwings, black-tailed godwits and oystercatchers are busy with courtship. Reed warbler, reed warbler and maybe grasshopper warbler can be heard from the reeds.

Groot Eiland (not to be confused with Het Eiland) is an estate and a nature reserve in the municipality of Hulst in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in the Netherlands. The Groot Eiland estate is privately owned. Groot Eiland consists of some agricultural land, a house, several creeks such as De Auwel, a large forest and a small forest. The small forest is located on a piece of land that is also called the Hulster Vlak. The estate is surrounded by a dike and is connected to the city of Hulst by the Oude Vaart. North of Groot Eiland are the former battery Luntershoek and the hamlet of Luntershoek of the same name.
