Hompelvoet, Desert island in Goeree-Overflakkee, Netherlands.

Located in Lake Grevelingen, Hompelvoet features extensive fields of white Parnassia flowers and numerous species of wild orchids across its terrain.

The formation of Hompelvoet is connected to the flooding events that shaped the Dutch delta region, including the significant water movements of 1216.

The island represents the preservation efforts of South Holland's natural heritage, maintaining its status as an undisturbed ecological reserve.

Visitors can reach the island by boat and observe its flora from designated paths while maintaining a distance to protect the natural environment.

At an elevation of 1.8 meters above sea level, the island supports a range of butterfly species that thrive among its diverse plant populations.
