The landscape

The National Landscape New Dutch Waterline consists of a typical Dutch peatmoor landscape with lakes, ditches and strips of land. The connection of nature with cultural-historical values is very pecial here. Tucked away in the landscape with large and small lakes, dense swamp forests, green meadows and stately country estates you will encounter many historic buildings such as forts, fortresses and castles. Enjoy the beautiful lakes, the narrow ditches, the open polders and the reedlands in the extensive peatmoor land of the eastern Vechtplassen, but also of very nice views over the shallow waters, the swamp forests and the flowery grasslands of the nature reserve Naardermeer.
