Think the Netherlands is just cities, canals, and tulips? Think again. Nature here is alive and full of wildlife.
- Along the northern coast, in the Wadden Sea, you might spot seals lounging on sandbanks or swimming in the shallows. It’s one of Europe’s best places to see them in the wild.
- Birdwatchers, get ready: the wetlands and islands are a stopover for millions of migrating birds. From spoonbills to oystercatchers, this is a paradise with wings.
- Head inland and you’ll find the Hoge Veluwe National Park, where forests and sand dunes hide red deer, wild boar, and even shy foxes. With a bit of patience and a great guide you’ll see the wilder side of the Netherlands.
