This "Nieuwe Kooi" was built in 1930 to catch ducks. But it didn't work. You can hear the frogs from afar. Little grebes and numerous dragonfly species can also be found in the pond. A bank invites you to linger.

There is another "Enden-Kooi" (duck fishing pond) on the island, the Oude Kooi (see Vlieland Tour 4).
