Nature reserve 'De IJzermonding'

This nature reserve has a rich variety of fauna and flora.
Because of the tidal movements a unique area of saltings and mud flats was built, an ideal breeding ground for a rich variety of soil animals such as worms, snails, algae, shells and crustaceans.
The continuous interaction between the salt and fresh water in the IJzer estuary also creates a special biotope characterized by salt loving plants such as salicornia, sea plantain and perennial goosefoot.

Only guided visits are possible.
