Neeltje Jans

Neeltje Jans

Neeltje Jans is a varied dune landscape, which contains various developmental stages of the dunes. From young sea dunes through wet valleys and a dune lake, to a row of high ridge dunes. On the Oosterschelde side, a bird island has been created in an extensive mudflat area. Pioneer birds such as gull-billed terns, terns, and plovers nest there, and moreover, there are hundreds of waders that use the island to rest and preen their feathers during high tide. On the North Sea side, a sluice has been created. The ''infodune'', a sheltered area in the dunes with various facilities, provides information about the nature reserve Neeltje Jans. Several walking routes have been outlined, one of which passes a bird screen. There is a birdwatching hut to observe the birds on the bird island undisturbed.
