Zeevang, the lowest point of North Holland, is an open peat meadow area with lots of water and historic villages such as Beets, Kwadijk and Warder. This peatland, diked in the 13th century, is characterised by elongated grasslands, narrow and wide ditches, meandering dykes and monumental cheese-cover farmhouses. Once plagued by floods from the Zuiderzee, it now harbours a peaceful, primal Dutch landscape. North Holland's lowest point is in the Etersheimbraak polder, six metres below sea level, within the Zeevang polder. The area is a paradise for meadow birds, with a special bird-watching wall in Warder where bird lovers can quietly observe.
