This is watchtower "Biesterwied" in the Tetjehorn nature reserve, a nature reserve established in the early 2000s and the northernmost sub-area of 't Roegwold. It is the largest reed marsh in Groningen and is home to a multitude of birds, including bittern, bearded male and china grouse. feels at home in the reed marsh and every now and then even the imposing white-tailed eagle is seen here!
