The connection with the adjacent nature reserve De Schotsman adds a special dimension to De Groote Duynen. This primeval area was formed by wind and water, in times when the tides still had free play. An amazing landscape of vast grasslands with wild orchids, varied by woods and thickets bordering the Veerse Meer. Every season has its own charm and invites you to explore. But an absolute must is an early morning walk. A veil of mist hangs over the grasslands. Countless species of birds, deer and Scottish Highlanders wake up on the salt marshes and dunes. You feel like you are miles away from anywhere else and witness nature at its most beautiful.
Book a nature walk with the forester or explore this beautiful area on your own and follow the marked trails.
No day is the same in the largest National Park in the Netherlands. Nature reigns supreme in this dynamic area. Extraordinary plants and animals have found a home here. Seals feel perfectly at home in the Oosterschelde. There are at least about 100 of them to be found. At low tide, you may be lucky enough to see them sunbathing on the sandbanks. Beachcombing, walking on the mudflats, kayaking, snorkelling or diving. Discover the surprises around the tide line and the beautiful underwater world. Don't forget the beautiful, small private beaches! Numerous activities are organised on or around the Oosterschelde.
