As you wander through its enchanting landscapes, you may come across the majestic Great Bittern gracefully standing amidst the swaying reeds. The Market Place in Zwolle, the capital city of Overijssel, exudes charm with its historic buildings and bustling atmosphere. Delving into the rich history of this region, one cannot miss admiring the captivating portraits that depict influential figures such as Frederik Hendrik and Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. These masterpieces painted on canvas transport us back to c. 1637-8 when their legacy was immortalized. Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, also takes center stage in Overijssel's historical narrative. His regal presence can be felt even today through his portrait created by Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt. As dawn breaks over this idyllic province, Morningdew gently caresses its charming towns like Kampen. Wenceslaus Hollar's artwork from 1642-44 captures the essence of this town perfectly - a testament to timeless beauty. The wildlife here is equally captivating; imagine catching sight of a Long-eared Owl perched on a branch intently gazing at your camera or being mesmerized by a Barn Owl looking over its shoulder in Kamperveen.

Nature unfolds before your eyes once again as you witness a Barn Owl proudly displaying its catch while perched on a treestump in Kamperveen.
