Wetland sanctuary on reclaimed polder land in the Netherlands' newest national park

Nieuw Land National Park

Nieuw Land National Park is a relatively young protected area established on October 1, 2018, in the Dutch province of Flevoland. The park occupies a distinctive position within the country's landscape as it sits on land that was reclaimed from the sea during the creation of the Flevopolder, one of the world's largest artificial islands. Spanning approximately 289 square kilometers, the park is dominated by water bodies, with over 75% of its surface area consisting of lakes, marshes, and waterways. The national park represents the first of a new generation of Dutch national parks, designed to meet elevated standards for ecological coherence, landscape value, and visitor experience. It connects several previously separate nature reserves into a unified protected landscape, creating one of the most significant wetland conservation areas in Western Europe.
