Accessibility during the breeding season
During the breeding season (15 March to 15 July) and the bird migration season (15 October to 30 November), parts of the nature reserves are partially closed to the public. The attached map shows which paths remain accessible, even during the breeding season. Furthermore, the following rules always apply: stay on the paths, keep dogs on a lead and do not leave any litter behind.
