Why
With attractions such as the Afsluitdijk Wadden Center, the Kazemattenmuseum and soon the Fish Migration River (2024), Kornwerderzand can develop into an important tourist-recreational attraction on the Afsluitdijk. The location has been designated by the Wadden Sea provinces as an intensive development area for tourism. Moreover, it is an important gateway to both the Wadden area and the hinterland of North Holland and Friesland.
How
The main outlines of the plans for 'Experience Kornwerderzand' have been completed. Kornwerderzand residents, authorities and other interested parties are participating in the discussions to develop the plans further.
The aim of 'Experience Kornwerderzand' is to make the former artificial island and the places of interest easily accessible and experiential for all tourist and recreational target groups, young and old, including cultural and nature tourists. People with disabilities will also find it easier to reach the area.
The guiding principle of 'Experience Kornwerderzand' is to connect, strengthen and experience the existing attractions, such as the Fish Migration River, the Afsluitdijk Wadden Centre and the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. Attractive routes, combined with appealing, digital storylines, will soon lead visitors from the Afsluitdijk Wadden Center through the area.
