A great location with benches to sit on, watch, and relax.

Explanation of the sign: The Griltjeplak is an old dune valley where a lot of calcareous groundwater still surfaces, also known as seepage. This is unique because there are few valleys left on the island where wet dune nature relies on lime. Waterpracht restores the natural water levels as much as possible. For the Griltjeplak, this means that the water level will actually be slightly lower. Currently, the dam and weir ensure that the water level remains high. This is a relatively large amount of rainwater, which negates the influence of the existing calcareous seepage water. By lowering the water level, the ratio of seepage water to rainwater improves, which benefits the vegetation in the dune valley. The dam you are standing on is called the Weeversdam. It was constructed at the beginning of the last century to prevent the dunes from drying out. South of the dam, the dune valleys were being drained on a large scale for afforestation...

The Wadden Sea is a unique and vast tidal area. It is known for its shallow waters, sandbanks and rich biodiversity. You can book a guided walk on the mudflats if you want to explore this area up close.

The animals are named after the people who found them, e.g. Elton's pheasant. The chickens, ducks and pheasants have new wooden shelters with small bushes for protection. The peacocks run around freely.
