Description
Come bird watching in Eemland
From March to June, the polders of Eemland are teeming with meadow birds, such as the black-tailed godwit and the lapwing. The marshy polders with flower-rich grassland are ideal for raising their young. From June to October, the banks of the Eemmeer are interesting. And in the winter, geese and swans settle in the area.So get on your bike and don't forget your binoculars!
Highlights
- Vogelboulevard Eemland on the Noordervenweg: Up close you can see birds courting, breeding and raising their young in the flowery meadows. There is also a lot to see above your head.
- Birdwatching hut Gooimeer: Leave your bike for a while and walk up and down the Meentdijk to the birdwatching hut at the Eemmeer. You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of wading, meadow and meadow birds. From the hut you can spot cycling birds and geese and ducks on the water.
- Meentdijk/Zomerijk: The round blows are striking. They were created by breaches in the Eemdijk. The water swirled violently through the dike and tore holes many meters deep.
Together with Fietsroute Vogelboulevard Eemland Oost (337867) a trip of almost 50 km can be made. Except on Sundays this route can be shortened by taking the ferry at Eembrugge (crossing cycle junction 25 and 11).
'Vogelboulevard Eemland' was made possible in part by financial support from the municipality of Amersfoort, the municipality of Eemnes, IKEA, the province of Utrecht, Agenda Vitaal Platteland, the Carel Nengerman Fund Foundation, the Regional Fund for the National Landscape Arkemheen-Eemland and the members of Natuurmonumenten.
