Blauwe kamer, Nature reserve on the northern bank of Nederrijn, Netherlands
Blauwe Kamer is a nature reserve on the north bank of the Nederrijn river with extensive wetlands and grasslands. Galloway cattle and Konik horses graze freely across this landscape.
The site was home to a brick factory from 1890 to 1975 before being converted into a nature reserve. Reclaiming the land as a natural space required intentional restoration efforts.
The area serves as a crucial stopover for migratory birds and connects several large natural regions. Visitors come to observe seasonal changes and watch the animals that move through here.
A walking path guides visitors through the area with observation huts for bird watching. Access is straightforward, but sturdy footwear is recommended as water levels change with the seasons.
In 1992 the summer dike was deliberately opened to restore natural river cycles. This controlled flooding has shaped the land and its ecology ever since.
