De Winput

This is an outstanding nature zone in Lage Zwaluwe that was created in 1966 while sand and ground were extracted there to build and fill in the polder zone of Kwistgeldpolder in Lage Zwaluwe. Two residential areas were built on this new piece of land afterward: Ameroever and Princehil. When the extractions stopped, the hole filled up with water and wildlife took back her space, creating a nice nature zone. Currently, the Winput is also used as a recreation zone for fishing and swimming.

On the water, different kind of ducks are passing like the Eurasian teal and the crested duck. In spring, you can hear or even spot a bluethroat.

This unique nature zone is very well appreciated by birds’ spotters.
