Wolvega, Ossenzijl and Steenwijkerwold

Open water, reed beds, swamp forests... It is not for nothing that De Weerribben won the title'Most beautiful place in the Netherlands\\\' in 2004. The Weerribben are covered with beautiful plants and a variety of special animal species live in this area. The carnivorous bladderwort often floats in large masses on the fens, lakes and puddles, but crab shear, water lilies and water hemlock also thrive here. In the reed land you will encounter cheerful colors of rough herbs, including fireweed, skullcap, marsh anthorn and bindweed, while grasses, heather, peat mosses, sundew and marsh cartel leaf grow on acidifying reed land. Various butterflies and dragonfly species flutter from plant to plant and the purple heron, black tern, bittern, reed warbler, reed warbler and oriole hunt in and around the water. Deer, foxes and otters also keep alive with what the Weerribben has to offer: a wide variety of fresh greenery, a juicy vole or a tasty rabbit.
