Lauwersmeer National Park, straddling the border of Groningen and Friesland, emerged from the transformation of the Lauwerszee into a lake in 1969. This park, a haven for over 100 bird species and a key stopover in their migratory paths, offers a blend of open water, grasslands, reed beds and forests. Notable for its tranquillity and natural beauty, it's also a designated Dark Sky Park, ideal for stargazing. Home to unique wildlife, including Konik horses and Scottish Highland cattle, the park provides enriching experiences through hiking and boat photo tours.
