Twice a day, at high tide, large amounts of seawater pour into the area and flood the country. The salty North Sea water ensures natural conditions that are unique in Europe and creates an original biotope of silt and salt marshes. The "Zwin" is therefore the ideal habitat for worms, snails, mussels and other creatures, which in turn are the basis of life for a wide variety of birds.
