From the viewpoint on the Zoutkamperplaat, you can enjoy views across the Lauwersmeer area. During the day, you can enjoy watching the animals that live in the area from the platform: Scottish Highland cattle, Konik horses and dozens of bird species. You might even spot a white-tailed eagle! The marsh harrier, the snipe, the greylag goose and the barn swallow are also regularly spotted here. When night falls, you can admire hundreds of stars from this stargazing platform. The side panels of the platform can be tilted and used as a headrest, allowing you to lie back and enjoy the starry sky.
National Park Lauwersmeer
When the Lauwerszee was cut off from the Wadden Sea in 1969, the Lauwersmeer was created. No one could have predicted at the time that the Lauwersmeer area would become one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands. Nowhere else will you find this combination of sweeping views of the horizon, stunning flora and fauna, and so much space for recreation.

Dark Sky ParkSince October 2016, National Park Lauwersmeer has held the Dark Sky Park designation: an area where it is dark, where the darkness is preserved and where visitors are welcome at night to experience that darkness. Far away from artificial light sources, it is so dark here at night that you can actually see everything.
