Driehuizen is one of the smaller hamlets in the "Eilands" polder. Centrally located in the Land of Leeghwater is the Eilandspolder. This was once a peat island in the middle of large lakes and was called Schermer Island. The wet agricultural lands are still used as meadows and pastures and are now a unique natural landscape, home to water and meadow birds. Today the Eilandspolder and the nearby polder De Mijzen are protected nature reserves.
