Netherlands From Above | Saeftinghe

The drowned land of Saeftinghe is a nature reserve in Zeeuws Vlaanderen (zeeland) at the border of The Netherlands and Belgium. The area is about 3850 ha in surface and is at the boundary between the salty water of the North Sea and the fresh water estuary of the Scheldt river or in Dutch also called the Westerschelde. This area of the Netherlands was ones the location of the four different villages namely Saeftinghe, Namen, Sint-Laureins en Casuwele and even a castle namely Saeftingher Slot. All these places were flooded in 1570 during the Allerheiligenvloed. After that, the villages never really recovered anymore and nature took over.
Today, it is an important area for birds were many birds live. Since its a protected area, we did not fly our drone over the area: only at the boundary of Saeftinghe.
