Experience winter in the Zwin during the Christmas holidays

At the feeding hut, the Zwin guide will tell you everything about the birds that spend the winter at the Zwin.

They will also give you tips on how to feed birds and how to attract songbirds to your own garden.

Zwin guide available 10:00 to 15:30

Zwin guides are stationed at various points in the park with telescopes so that you can watch the birds.

Zwin guides are present at the observation wall (or observation hut if the weather is bad) from 11:00 to 16:30.

At the lab hut, the Zwin guide will show you how to use a big screen to take a closer look at seeds, feathers, small animal skeletons...

Diatoms are single-celled algae that occur in both fresh and salt water. In the Zwin, they are found in great numbers — the brown layer you often see on the mudflats consists of billions of diatoms.

The importance of diatoms is immense: they form the basis of many food chains, produce vast amounts of oxygen, and are also used by humans in various ways.

Our Zwin guides make diatoms visible under a microscope and provide expert explanations about these fascinating organisms.

A Zwin guide is present in the observation centre from 1:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (except on December 24 and 31)

Combine your winter outing with a visit to the Doggerland exhibition. Discover a lost world and learn how our ancestors adapted to a constantly changing climate.

The exhibitions are included in a standard entry ticket.
