Oostvaardersplassen
1 KitswegCrocodiles, colorful birds, ring-tailed lemurs playing on top of the ape hill and …did you see the deer in the woods? You can find them all on the Hoenderdaell estate! In the middle of the wood, you will also find the Stichting Leeuw Rescue Centre, where at least seven tigers and five lions have been given a home. The animal shelter in the Hoenderdaell estate is situated in the middle of a vast and beautiful nature reserve. The route leads you through the woods via wide-open fields and along the water. Don’t forget to pay a visit to the birds of prey enclosure. Falconer Karel and his birds await you with a spectacular display!
-- they also have a very nice restaurant, called veer!
