De Alde Feanen
Tip: De Alde Feanen is one of the Netherlands’ twenty National Parks, and for good reason. De Alde Feanen is a unique area, rich in nature and cultural history, a result of the peat excavations carried out here in the past.
The 2,000 hectares of low peat bog is home to no less than 450 species of plant and 100 species of nesting birds, including the bald eagle. The area is in the heart of Friesland, amidst a number of picturesque villages and close to Leeuwarden, Drachten and Heerenveen. more information
