Prehistoric Landscape Returns to Europe

Saturday, 26 January 2019

If you take a short train journey north from Amsterdam you really should choose to sit on your left. When you have passed the small town of Almere you will come across something that has not been seen in Europe for thousands of years. Beasties, big beasties. Herds and herds of them. Welcome to the Oostvaardersplassen.

It looks to the observer as if they have suddenly been transported back in time. Herds of deer, wild cattle and horses roam around – it is like a vast prehistoric landscape. Strangely enough this place did not exist before 1968. It is a polder, a low lying tract of land that is enclosed by barriers called dikes. The Oostvaardersplassen has become in forty years one of the most important nature reserves in Europe.
