Weerribben
Discover the beauty of Weerribben National Park, a stunning natural reserve spanning approximately 11,000 hectares. Known as the largest lowland peat bog in Northwest Europe, this unique landscape is home to diverse wildlife, serene waterways, and lush wetlands. Perfect for nature lovers, the Weerribben offers endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation amidst untouched beauty.
While Giethoorn symbolizes Dutch architecture and culture in the purest sense of the word, National Park Weerribben-Wieden stands for the same when it comes to Dutch nature. The reed landscape through which the many waterways meander is home to deer and numerous birds. However, the most famous bird of the national park does not hide in the reeds but, with some luck, can be observed in the sky: the white-tailed eagle better known as the see eagle.
Private tours also distinguish themselves in this respect: if you wish, after sightseeing Giethoorn itself and Lake Giethoorn, the captain sails back to the starting point via the special nature reserve.
