Ilperveld visitors' centre
From the visitor centre you can experience the Ilperveld in different ways. In the centre you will find a permanent exhibition about the Ilperveld and what is happening to preserve the area.
Behind the visitor centre, you will find two footpaths that can be walked outside opening hours, one leading to the bird hide where you can spot many meadow and reed birds and one running through the reeds. At the bird-watching hut, bird lovers will be in for a treat. Take a seat in the hut, open one of the hatches and enjoy the most beautiful meadow and reed birds in peace. TIP: Take the tow ferry to the research site of Omhoog met het Veen.

The Ilperveld is best explored from the water. For example, join a boat excursion through the Ilperveld on Sunday afternoons from early April to late September . During this excursion, the boatmen and guides from Landschap Noord-Holland will lovingly take you along the most beautiful spots of the Ilperveld and tell you all about the landscape. Those who want to discover the Ilperveld on their own can hire an electric boat, canoe or rowing boat at the visitor centre from April to September. Floating silently through the water, you will experience the nature reserve in its purest form.
