De Watering is a unique area. Here you can hike through the water meadows created in the 19th century to irrigate the wild heathland with canals. This made them rich in flora and fauna: no less than 350 different plant species and 120 bird species have been counted! The water meadows trail is a short hike but oh so atmospheric.
Tip: visit the nature reserve with a guide and learn all about its beautiful nature and the animals that live here. Groups also welcome!
