The Dollard

Bird watching

In Polder Breebaart, the tides have been restored to a former polder. From the bird-watching hut, you can look out over the area where, especially in August, large groups of waders come to rest. Special bird species are regularly spotted here. The bird hide has disabled access. Nature lovers and photographers can rent a photo hut. From this hut, you can capture birds and the landscape undisturbed.

Punt van Reide

At the end of the Groninger world lies the peninsula Punt van Reide. This narrow outer dike headland, the size of 53 hectares, is the remnant of the once prosperous Reiderland. Over time, almost the entire original area was swept away by the sea. Now nature has free rein: both seabirds and meadow birds thrive in this oasis of tranquillity. To protect nature, the area is only accessible during certain periods and accompanied by a guide.

War heritage

During World War II, the Dollard formed part of the Atlantic Wall. Traces of this war past can still be found in the landscape, such as Batterij Fiemel. With a podwalk, you can discover this heritage in an accessible way during a walk through the area.
