On the Schildmeer lies Tetjehorn, a nature reserve created in the early 2000s and the most northern part of 't Roegwold. It is the largest reed marsh in Groningen and is home to a multitude of birds, including bittern, bearded reedling and spotted crake. Marsh harrier feels at home in the reed marsh and occasionally even the impressive white-tailed eagle is seen here! Experience the fantastic view from watchtower "Biesterwied" and follow the purple post trail to enjoy with the whole family. In addition, the archaeological and geological values are special. Excavation work accentuated inversion ridges (natural elevations in the ground). Existing mounds have been preserved and strengthened: embankments in the landscape where people used to live. Foraging areas have also been set up in this nature area and wild ducks and geese are accommodated here to prevent damage to nearby agricultural plots as much as possible.
