Wormer- en Jisperveld, Nature area and bird sanctuary near Wormerland, Netherlands.
The Wormer- en Jisperveld spans 18 square kilometers of marshland, grassland, and open water, forming a network of shallow ditches and meadows.
Medieval farmers created this landscape by draining peat bogs and digging thousands of ditches, establishing a pattern that remains visible from above today.
Local farmers maintain the ecological balance through traditional practices of grazing cattle, haymaking, and reed cutting across hundreds of small islands.
Visitors can explore the area through marked canoe routes and walking paths, while boats must maintain speeds under 6 kilometers per hour.
This region hosts the rare Dutch subspecies of tundra vole and serves as a primary nesting ground for black-tailed godwits.
