This shelter is located in a more open place in the forest. You have a lot of space there. Opposite the shelter, children have built a camp. It is a nice place to stay for a while, also with children.

May 28, 2026, Tidal Secrets #2 - Schuilhut Wal-Zwijn, Hamme

The shelter is located in the tidal landscape of the Wal-Zwijn flood area near Hamme. This sculpture is slightly hidden from the dike. It is a cocoon of 3 by 3 meters. The exterior is made of corten steel, while the interior is fully finished with woven, living hazel and willow branches. The passer-by is invited to step inside the capsule. It is a sheltered resting place to listen and look at the surrounding mudflats and salt marshes. Because the woven wood is alive, the artwork grows and evolves with the seasons.

Ideally located bird hide at the Veer van Schelle. If you have to wait for the ferry, you can come here in the bird hide to enjoy what is happening in your field of view. Bird lovers can indulge themselves here, because this wetland area is a paradise for birds. Herons, avocets, terns and all kinds of ducks feel at home on the North Island. Migratory birds use the island as a resting place during migration. Each season has its own protagonists. Enjoy your moment with nature.
