Het Oostzanerveld

Along the Zaandam-Hoorn railway line, which was built in 1884, and on the bridges in this region you have a view over the Oostzanerveld. This area is part of the Low Holland National Landscape. As part of the Natura 2000 area of Ilperveld, Varkensland, Oostzanerveld and 't Twiske, this unique peat meadow area has been given a protected status. The so-called boating farmers used to go here with their boat to the cows.
