The Landscape
With 14 million cubic meters of water and an area of 800 hectares, the Oldambtmeer is one of the larger lakes in the Netherlands. Nature can be found everywhere around the Oldambtmeer. In the east young forests, grasslands, marshes, hedgerows, and moraines. In the south a varied landscape with open water, canals, dikes, marshes, reed beds, and pools. In the northwest, one can enjoy the only primeval forest in Groningen, vast fields of grain and rapeseed, hedgerows, grasslands, and monumental mansions. And in the middle, the water-rich nature and residential development area of Blauwestad: once farmland, now a beautiful residential area surrounded by water and unspoiled nature.
