De Alde Feanen National Park, National park and Ramsar site in Friesland, Netherlands

The park encompasses 2,124 hectares of freshwater lakes, reed lands, forested marshland, and grasslands across three municipalities in northern Netherlands.

The land has been under It Fryske Gea conservation organization since 1934, receiving national park status in 2006 after four years of preparation.

The park contains several monumental windmills from the 18th century, including De Ikkers spinning mill, representing Dutch water management heritage.

Visitors can access the De Reidplûm information center near the stork breeding station It Eibertshiem to learn about local wildlife and nature.

The area supports 450 plant species and provides nesting grounds for 100 bird species, including white storks that nest on specially erected wooden poles.
