Come along to Balgzand and experience spring among the birds.

The breeding season is in full swing. Right now, Balgzand is extra special. Normally, this area remains closed to the public. During this excursion, you will join in and experience the birds and the atmosphere for yourself.

Go to a place you wouldn't otherwise go

That makes this excursion extra attractive. You visit an area that is normally not open. This way, you see Balgzand at a time when a lot is happening. That makes this afternoon special.

Look, listen, and experience spring

You see the birds up close and notice how lively the area is. That gives this excursion an extra dimension. You are outdoors, in complete tranquility. And you experience for yourself why this time of year is so exciting.

Know where you need to be
