Between Lek & Linge
Between the two rivers Lek and Linge you will find a piece of authentic Netherlands. A typical Dutch landscape with beautiful nature. The ideal place for a relaxing cycling tour or hike.
An undiscovered gem, full of beautiful flora and fauna. This storage area was dug in the 14th century to collect the excess water between the polders. Now it is an oasis of peace in which grasslands, reed beds and water alternate. Have your camera ready, because the swamp fields are the home and breeding ground for many bird species. The purple heron, the marsh harrier and the china grouse, you can admire them all.
The home base of the Nature centre Vijfheerenlanden (Schaapskooi) is centrally located between Lek and Linge. The nature reserve behind the Schaapskooi is freely accessible and is perfect for a walk of about an hour. A large overview map can be found in the Schaapskooi to plan your walk or cycle route in the area. There are also free walks and cycling routes.
