Boot tour on the salt marshes of St. Annaland

Walk with a guide from Staatsbosbeheer through the vast polder landscape of Tholen. Ebb and flow determine the rhythm here, the salty air stimulates your nose. You should not be afraid of wet feet, because the trip goes through muddy creeks and over salt marshes and the mudflats: mudflats that are flooded by the tide twice a day. Along the way you will find plants such as sea lavender and sea aster and it is teeming with worms, shellfish and small crustaceans. Enjoy this coastal nature outside the dykes, which is unique on a global scale.
