Extra info

The area is part of an old defence work named the Stelling van Amsterdam, meant to be covered with water to give the enemy no opportunity to enter the city of Amsterdam by land. The area is part of the Unesco heritage list. As the firing range (schootsveld) has to be free of obstacles, there are no buildings in the 160 ha area, an ideal place for meadow birds.

If you follow the walking route, there is also another bird area named ‘Het Landje van Gruijters’. In the route you pass 2 old fortresses: Fort South of Spaarndam and North of Spaarndam.
