Description

Walk from De Rijp to Eilandspolder and enjoy an open and wide panorama. The meadow area attracts many birds such as the curlew and the black-tailed godwit, but waterfowl also paddle happily on the many lakes and wide waterways. The call of reed warblers can be heard between the plumes of the reed lands and make for a wonderful walk. More to the east, the Eilandspolder has been set up as a bird area by Staatsbosbeheer. Here the polder has a swampy and more vegetated character, where the canals become smaller and the birds can be more sheltered and hidden. The many cycling and hiking trails make the area very accessible. You can rent bicycles, canoes, whisper boats or rowing boats at various places. The cafes have jetties where you can moor and it is also very nice to visit the bird-watching hut on the ring dike of the Schermer. Anyway: a walk through Eilandspolder is best armed with binoculars, so that you can take a look at the many natural inhabitants of the polder area from time to time. The route ends at Het Wapen van Munster. The menu consists of refined dishes, many of which are made with fresh regional products. In the informal, friendly atmosphere you can enjoy an extensive dish or a smaller snack and one of the wines from the extensive wine list, while the cozy bar invites you to order a delicious cold beer or a glass of lemonade.

During the breeding season from March 15 to June 15, you cannot walk between nodes 53 and 42.
