Twiskepolder met Stootersplas

If you are walking or cycling through this area you would not think that this is man-made nature. When the plans for the first Coentunnel became concrete in the 1960s, this area was designated as a recreational area. The sand needed to build the Coentunnelweg turned the Stootersplas into a very deep lake, where marsh, reed and water birds quickly found their home. So massive that the area has been designated a protected nature reserve, as part of the Natura 2000 area. For walkers and cyclists, the Twiske is a 360-day green experience. In addition, the Twiske has a large and diverse range of activities and good restaurants on the water for the active visitor.
