Get on your bike, bring your binoculars or camera and go on your way. National Park De Alde Feanen is definitely worth a visit, but it is also an important habitat for many different birds. To make things a bit easier for you, we have added four departure points to this cycle route, from where you have a good chance of seeing the most extraordinary birds. Important: during this route you will encounter a few ferries. So take some cash with you and check https://www.gastvrijgrou.nl/ to be sure if the ferries are sailing as well.
