The Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe is an area of 3600 hectares on the border between land and water, where there used to be prosperous polders, villages and a castle. The area has been devastated by storm tides and war and now consists of brackish water marshes, with the water from the Western Scheldt flowing into the area at high tide and sinking again at low tide. The area is a paradise for birds with more than 200 bird species that feed, breed, rest and hibernate on the mud flats and salt marshes.
