De Onlanden, Nature reserve near Groningen, Netherlands.
The Onlanden spans 2500 hectares of marshlands, meadows, and waterways between the city of Groningen and northern Drenthe province.
Monks from Aduard monastery walked through this area around 1300 on their way to the church in Vries village.
The name Onlanden was selected through a competition organized by five local nature associations and historical societies in 2009.
A 26-meter observation tower provides expansive views over the wetlands, with marked paths leading from Noorddijk through the meadows.
The area serves as a water retention zone protecting Groningen from floods while supporting 122 different breeding bird species.
