Onlanden
Wet nature for dry feet
The Onlanden are located under the smoke of the city of Groningen. A relatively young nature reserve. You will find rugged meadows, swamp forest and plenty of room for excess water. The area ensures that the inhabitants of the city keep their feet dry. It is a lovely place to take a walk.
Wide swamp landscape
You will encounter a lot of water in the nature of the Onlanden. The area is closely connected to streams and other bodies of water that lie nearby. It also serves as a water storage area for the city. During prolonged, heavy rainfall, it ensures that Groningen residents keep their feet dry. All this water creates swampy nature. Ideal for birds to settle. They appear here in large numbers. The bald eagle regularly visits here. Several otters have settled here and Exmoor ponies graze the area. Wild nature, a stone's throw from the city.
