Dwingelderveld National Park
Woods, heaths and drift sands - you will find it all in the Dwingelderveld National Park. The Dwingelose Heide and Kraloëerheide are located in this vast nature reserve, the largest continuous wet heath in Northwestern Europe. The Dwingelderveld National Park is perfect for walking and getting a breath of fresh air.


Getting a breath of fresh air
The wet heath in this national park has a distinctive character, particularly between June and September when the heather blooms pink and purple. You will find lakes and pools in the lower-lying plains, which are extremely important for the plants and animals that live here. Take a look around the Davidsplassen lakes or the Drostenveen and you will discover many species of unusual animals.


Drifting sand
Sheep used to graze on the heath in the past, sometimes in herds of more than 8,000! This intensive grazing resulted in bare areas, which then became drifting sand. An example of this is the Lheebroekzand. It can get pretty rough here when the wind crops up!


Bird-watching cabin
Do you want to avoid scaring the birds? A bird-watching cabin is located near the Davidsplassen. Take along your binoculars and quietly wait until you see a pintail or black-necked grebe fly by.


Sheep pens
The heath is maintained by grazing sheep. In the evening, two shepherds bring the herds back to a sheep pen on the Benderse and another one in Achter 't Zaand. A sight you certainly shouldn’t miss!


Visitor's center
Would you like to know more about the nature found in Dwingelderveld National Park? Take a look around the Visitor's Center. You will learn all about the plants and animals and about the history of the area. Particularly interesting are the butterfly and herbgarden and the bee shed. When approaching the Visitor's Center, make sure you take a look at the roof. This covered roof blooms in springtime, and turns red from the succulents in the fall.

Hi Gert,

Nice to be your neighbour today. I was mentioning spring in my comment. You are showing a summer lanskape. I think we all wait for the good weather of the spring.

Your photo has a very fine image showing well the interesting lanscape. The tree an it's reflection in the water looks fine in the well composed photo.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Gert,
A wonderful habitat shot of a wetalnd in N. Holland. The dead tree is a great part of the composition and gives the image perspective. It also indicates that this part was drier at one time.
Looks like a great area to visit!
Thanks for sharing this,
Best regards,
Ivan

Salut Gert,

Well done

Well done,
Gert

Hello Gert

There is no doubt who is the hero in this picture even though ut is a landscape.That tree and its reflection does all of it for you in one neat length.I only wish this to have had a larger panoramic view!!!!

The composition is wonderful and all elements other than the tree are taken in slowly by the eye sof the viewer.I like those clouds better on the water than on the sky:)Very well see and cpatured.

TFS and cheers

Hallo Gert,

Hoe je het ook wend of keert, het blijft een van de mooiste nationale parken in ons kikkerland (mijn mening) Zoveel diversiteit. Mooi licht (zeer zeker gezien de opnametijd) en weerspiegeling in het water. De oude boom doet me een beetje aan diverse foto's van Suntoucher denken. Desalniettemin een schitterend heldere foto.

Groeten Bob

Hello Gert!
This is very beautiful landscape picture! I like water reflection and very good clarity and contrast! Also the area looks very nice for watching :)
Greetings from Poland,
Radomir
