On the west side of the island you will find for example dunes, dune valleys, mixed forests, salt marshes and moors. On the east side of the island you will find a vast salt marsh area and several smaller nature reserves that provide nesting and feeding places for numerous birds. In the middle of the island a light rolling and open countryside with farms, polders, meadows and meadow bird sanctuaries.
