Discover the nature of Bruinisse

Oosterschelde National Park is a magnificent nature reserve. The Oosterschelde used to be a tributary of the river Scheldt. As a result of the construction of the Delta Works in 1986, it changed into a shallow estuary.The tides cause part of the estuary to run dry during low tide.The combination of fresh and salt water creates a unique landscape where many different species of birds, aquatic animals and plants live.Lake Grevelingen is the largest saltwater lake in Western Europe and was created with the construction of the Brouwers Dam in 1971. When the connection between this estuary and the North Sea was closed, some sandbars became dry. Today, these provide space for plants that love fresh and salt water.But also to all kinds of land birds, shorebirds and sandpipers.There are even fjord horses and shetland ponies roaming here.
