The Alde Feanen in the media!

Travel program 3 OP REIS also visited this National Park, and wrote the following about it: "We start with the youngest national park in the Netherlands: the Frisian Alde Feanen. In this old peat area you are in the right place as a water sports enthusiast. For example, go kayaking or paddle in the creeks, where you paddle past a richly vegetated lateral line with nesting birds. You might just fall silent with that rippling water in the background. Nocturnal animals among us can also discover the national park sailing in a dinghy. If you prefer to be on land, map out a route between the windmills, viewpoints and bird hides that the park is rich in." Source: https://www.npo3.nl/3opreis/nederland-nationale-parken
