This little bird-watching hut on the hiking trail through the Rottige Meenthe nature reserve is a very unusual bird-watching hut.

It was built by the artist O.C. Hooymeijer to enable visitors to observe birds that don’t exist. The artist has been imagining, painting, drawing and describing fantasia birds for some years.

This little bird-watching hut is a chance to go on a voyage of discovery that combines art, nature, education and humour. You will also get to see real birds because Rottige Meenthe is a beautiful nature reserve!

The Oldehove has been standing since 1529 and is leans even more than the Tower of Pisa! You can admire it from the inside as well as outside. The elevator, built in 2011, takes you to the first floor, and from there you will have to conquer the spiral staircase to the roof.
