Today a hike through the Lelystad Nature Park in the Netherlands. From the parking lot we went through the green lake landscape. At the vantage points we could see storks, geese and even a beaver. Unfortunately I couldn't take a photo of the beaver because it quickly ran away.

All in all, this tour was wonderful with the best weather.
