Tips

Eric Buddelmeijer

Cycling

Part of the Natura-2000 area in Oostzaan, just like the Twiske. Sandwiched between the A7, A8 and the village of Oostzaan, it is an area that can almost only be reached by water. Or with the skate on the rare days when there is enough ice. The cows here are still taken by boat from one pasture to another by one of the few 'Vaarboeren' who still actually work like this. The current farmer is called Koeman and his boat is called the Koeman Express.

The Ilperveld, Oostzanerveld and Varkensland together form the largest peat bog complex north of Amsterdam. The field consists of elongated meadows surrounded by water. It is a typical peat meadow area and habitat for many birds.
