Lepelaarplassen

The Lepelaarplassen encompasses ponds, reed beds, and wet grasslands, creating an ecological network that supports numerous waterfowl and marsh bird populations.

Following the drainage of Zuidelijk Flevoland in 1968, this region received nature reserve designation in 1971, becoming a key conservation site.

The De Trekvogel visitor center provides educational resources and detailed maps for visitors to learn about local wildlife and conservation efforts.

Three observation points along a twelve-kilometer cycling route offer strategic locations for watching over 300 different bird species throughout the year.

White-tailed eagles successfully breed in the reserve, with their presence indicating the ecological completeness of the food chain within Lepelaarplassen.
