Marker Wadden
The Marker Wadden are artificial islands in the Markerlake in the Netherlands. The construction started in 2016, and the first islands were opened for the public in 2021.
It is (as far as I know) the only place in the Netherlands where people are guests. Nature is in charge here!
Already soon after the islands were developed birds found their way, and now it really is a birds paradise. One (of five) island is open for the public, but only a limited amount of people can go there because there is only a limited boat connection.
During spring and summer the islands are stuffed with birds who raise their young in every possible corner. As visitor you can walk around and part of the path are wooden walkways (as you can see) from where you have an excellent view on wildlife.
