The Landscape

Separated only by lakes, rivers, and canals, beyond the world's largest and busiest port lies a green island where tranquility and expansiveness shape the daily scenery. The vast polders of Voorne-Putten create a peaceful landscape with picturesque vistas extending to the horizon. Extensive dunes and grasslands, kilometers of dikes, irregularly shaped creeks, and abundant water characterize the area. A network of ditches, canals, and waterways crisscrosses the region. The numerous sea dikes and polder dikes attest to the gradual reclamation of land from the sea. Due to their elevated position, these dikes offer splendid views of the open landscape. The distinctive delta landscape of the Zeeland and South Holland islands is primarily recognizable in the southern part of the island. There, you can still find a dynamic delta nature with watercourses, mudflats, salt marshes, and reed beds.
