Birdwatching: Oostzanerveld, Stootersplas and Twiske

The black-tailed godwit has a beautiful breeding area in the Oostzanerveld, one of the few places in the Netherlands where this endangered species is still doing well. With the Twiske and the Stootersplas you have a beautiful varied route! This walking route first takes you along the Oostzanerveld, one of the best meadow bird areas in the Netherlands. For example, it is a popular breeding area for the black-tailed godwit, whose numbers are rapidly declining. During your walk you can relax on the cozy lounge terrace on the water of Twiske Haven. Here you see the edge of the Stootersplas, which was created during sand extraction for the Coentunnel. The Twiske is a varied nature reserve with forests, grasslands and lots of water.
