Oranjezon, Nature reserve in Vrouwenpolder, Netherlands
The Oranjezon reserve encompasses dunes, grasslands, pine forests, and deciduous woodlands across 400 hectares along the northwest coast of Walcheren.
The dune formations emerged between 1200 and 1700, with the area later serving as a water extraction site for Middelburg and surrounding villages.
The reserve functions as a natural laboratory demonstrating the interaction between coastal ecosystems and traditional Dutch water management techniques.
Visitors can access the reserve between sunrise and sunset through marked trails, with entry tickets available at the entrance machine for 1 euro.
The area supports a substantial fallow deer population that naturally maintains open landscapes by consuming young vegetation, alongside grazing ponies.
