Blauwe kamer, Nature reserve on the northern bank of Nederrijn, Netherlands
The Blauwe Kamer spans 120 hectares of floodplains where Galloway cattle and Konik horses graze freely among wetlands and grasslands.
From 1890 to 1975, the site contained a brick factory that manufactured 500,000 bricks weekly until modern production methods led to its closure.
The nature reserve connects the Utrecht Hill Ridge with the Veluwe region, forming an essential part of the Netherlands' ecological structure network.
Visitors can explore the 3-kilometer walking trail through the reserve while observing over 200 bird species from designated observation huts.
In 1992, the summer dyke was intentionally breached to restore natural river dynamics, allowing periodic flooding to shape the landscape.
