Landgoed Loenen (The Loenen Estate), the adjacent Loenensche Buitenpolder (floodplain) and Strandpark Slijk-Ewijk (lake) offer good variety in habitats.
The estate Landgoed Loenen has old stands of forest, meadows and a nice manor. In the forested areas Eurasian Goshawk, Eurasian Green Woodpecker, Eurasian Nuthatch breed. Middle Spotted Woodpecker has bee seen here too.
The lake of Strandpark Slijk Ewijk is crowded with people in summer. But in winter the water attracts many birds like Common Goldeneye, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Smew, Goosander and sometimes rare sea birds turn up. Common Kingfisher can be seen the whole year.
The floodplain in the Loenensche Buitenpolder consists mainly of meadows, a side channel of the river and some ponds. In 2019 works took place in the area to make the side channel and new ponds. The working area was immediately used by breeding Little Ringed Plover and in autumn many waders were seen.

De plas van Strandpark Slijk Ewijk is in de zomer vol met mensen. Maar in de winter trekt het water veel vogels aan zoals Common Goldeneye, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Smew, Goosander en soms duiken er zeldzame zeevogels op. Common Kingfisher is het hele jaar te zien.
De uiterwaarden in de Loenensche Buitenpolder bestaan voornamelijk uit weilanden, een zijgeul van de rivier en enkele plassen. In 2019 vonden er werkzaamheden plaats in het gebied om het zijkanaal en nieuwe vijvers te maken. Het werkgebied werd direct gebruikt door de broedende Little Ringed Plover en in de herfst werden er veel steltlopers gezien.
The area is easily accessible. The walk on the map takes you through the three areas.
