Description

De Streken is a landscape artwork on the edge of the Wadden Sea on the island of Terschelling. It is a tribute to Joop Mulder, the founder of theater festival Oerol. The work is built close to the dike at the village of Oosterend, and a special place to view wading birds up close. A small pier takes you to the artwork that is completely surrounded by the mudflats of the Wadden Sea. The monument can be visited annually from the summer to the end of September. Birds that you can see around De Streken are Călifar alb, Gâscă neagră and waders like Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Scoicar, Culic mare, Fugaci de țărm and Sitar de mal nordic.

Nederlands: Gemakkelijk bereikbaar vanuit Oosterend en het fietspad langs de Waddendijk. Vooral interessant net voor en na hoogwater als het wad op deze plek net begint droog te vallen of vlak voordat het helemaal onder water staat en de vogels het meest dichtbij zitten. Zie de link naar de actuele getijdentabel hieronder.
