Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Tij Bird Observatory with additional information or photos.

This special viewing place was opened in April 2019 as part of the Haringvliet Dream Fund. You can watch the local birds’ life, mainly their breeding season, from there. There are lots of ducks, egrets, spoonbills, and kingfishers for example. In the bird observatory, there is a Swarovski Optik telescope that gives you a sharp view of the birds from far away!

Know Before You Go

Park in the parking lot of the marina Stellendam, the path starts from the parking lot. In the port, you can enjoy a delicious coffee, lunch or dinner in the restaurant Loef.
