Unspoilt nature with a great variety of birds

On none of the Dutch Wadden Islands will you find as much nature as on Vlieland. Of the 39km2 that the island is large, only 0.4km2 is not a nature reserve. There are various nature reserves on the island: mudflats, dunes, forests and beach. Because of this, there is also a great diversity of plants and animals.

On the smallest Wadden island, peace and space reign and the birds are the boss. On the island you can find many different birds, that live here, breed here or are on their way to the north. Walking or cycling is the best way to explore the nature of the island.
