NATIONAL PARK WEERRIBBEN-WIEDEN

We are staying in one of the most beautiful national parks of the Netherlands, Weerribben-Wieden. Thanks to the human hands of peat(turf) diggers and reed cutters, a beautiful landscape full of lakes, waterways, reed lands, peat forests and quaking bogs was created. This water abundant area is the habitat of hundreds of extraordinary plants and animals. One of the rare inhabitants is the otter, also the symbol of the Weerribben-Wieden.

The best way to experience the atmosphere of the Weerribben-Wieben is on foot or from the water. It is amazing to canoe through this gorgeous area in peace and quiet. You will see many kinds of waterfowl and insects, and with a bit of luck you may even spot an otter among the vegetation in the water and on the banks.

Besides walking and canoeing there is a lot more to do in this beautiful area. We will leave it up to the weather and our energy what the exact program will be. Of course we’ll speak Dutch on all of our adventures.
