Here you will find the first of several bird-watching hides on this route. The bird-watching hide in the Jan Durkspolder wetland reserve is a few hundred metres to the left of 

junction 91. Here you can spot rare birds all year round. The opposite bank is a nesting site for a colony of Eurasian spoonbills. As you walk along the surfaced and shell-paved trails you are surrounded by panoramic views. With a bit of luck, you may even spot a hare or a deer. The last part of the route takes you through the It Wikelslân nature reserve at De Alde Feanen National Park, where you can see and hear many birds all year round. Binoculars come in handy if you want to watch birds from the hides!

The ‘Hin en Wer’ ferry just past junction 53 takes you back to the visitor centre.
(Please note! The ferry doesn’t run in the winter. Current ferry sailing times can be found at www.de8vangrou.nl/vaartijden.)
