Netherlands: The Reinders Lake (Reindersmeer) in the national park Maasduinen

The Reinders Lake is a natural area in development. It results from an excavation where in the past sand and gravel was extracted. It is an important natural link between two other natural areas namely the Bergerheide and the Hamert in Wellerlooi, Netherlands.
The lake is 130 hectares. The banks are overgrown with heather, grass and other plants. Between them there are small pools and fens on an impermeable (clay) layer. The environment consists of forests with large drift-sand areas, moorland and several lakes. The special sand dunes in the landscape are typical of the national park Maasduinen.

Around the Reinders Lake nature plays the leading role. Only quiet recreation such as walking, cycling and horseback riding is allowed. Swimming and fishing is prohibited.

Along the Reinders Lake there are three walking routes. The starting point for these walks is the information at the Lock Bridge in the Bosserheide in Well. Here is car parking and you can choose from three routes: the green and the white one (each approximately 2.5 km) or the red route (about 8 km). The red route you can halve by crossing the lake with a pull pont.

The lake is visited by many different (water) birds. There are several types of ducks and geese and herons. In the banks of the lake the bank swallow and the kingfisher built their nest. But the also the harrier, the bluethroat and the fishhawk are regularly reported.

What does the word Reinders mean?

@britzreinders

I can not tell you. It is the name they gave to this lake, that was a result of the sand extraction for the concrete industry.

Bedankt en fijn dat je de video mooi vond.

Het nummer heet Gealic Morn en is waarschijnlijk van Celtic Destiny.
