Holwerterpolder at Noard Fryslân Butendyks Nature Reserve
Holwerd
If you like the idea of walking in a swamp forest, a 3 or 5-kilometre walk through this remarkable part of the De Alde Feanen National Park will lead you on a fascinating journey of discovery.
Holwerterpolder is a unique part of the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage site. The swaying reed beds and rich salt marsh ecosystem make this a spectacular place to get your boots in the mud. Here where fresh water meets salt water you can book a mudflat hike or walk the Holwertwest hiking trail.
Immerse yourself in the smell of the mud and the ever-present wind, listen to the birdsong and marvel at the remarkable skies. Tough or sensitive, active or passive, here you forge your own trail.
