Tusschenwegen
South of Winschoten lies Tusschenwegen, a nature and water storage area of the Dutch Forestry Commission. It was laid out on 84 hectares in 2005-2006 and combines forest, flower meadows, marsh and open water.

In the southern part you will find marshlands for birds and small game, while in the north Scottish Highlanders and Konik horses graze.
At high tide, Tusschenwegen can quickly collect 1.7 million cubic metres of water to prevent flooding. Special features are the two round ponds on the north side, the 'Wet Eyes', a water artwork that can flood due to height differences.
The area is freely accessible and invites walking and cycling, in the middle of a landscape where nature development and water management go hand in hand.
