A large area is divided into plots, which is filled with salt water.
These shallow areas contain plenty of food for the migratory birds.
Many species of birds have found their habitat in these waters, including the shy flamingos.

Very interesting figures are placed along the street and pedestrian path.
They are probably intended to encourage people to move more on foot and by bike.

March 6, 2025,prachtige wandeling naar het zoutwingebied
It was a beautiful day today and I had a lovely walk
It was very muddy along the salt pans, you need to wear good walking shoes
