A Black-tailed Godwit in the meadow

Krommenieër-Woudpolder

Traces of Iron Age settlements have been found in the soil of the Krommenieër-Woudpolder.

Permanent settlement began here around the year 1000, following the drainage of peatlands. Today's polder was created in the 13th century by the construction of dykes. Today, this peaceful place is a safe haven for numerous birds to breed, such as the black-tailed godwit and the lapwing.
