East Flevoland and IJsseldelta
Cycling in a polder landscape with canals and ditches, extensive farmlands and an elongated forest area along the coast of the Veluwe lakes.
The Landscape
The polder landscape around Dronten was designed in the mid-20th century by clever minds and arranged by diligent workers. Often referred to by many as a drawing board landscape with clean lines. Over sixty years later, the landscape presents expansive views, beautiful skies, and open waters. Numerous fields and orchards display splendid colors and emit pleasant fragrances. Polder forests flourish along the bordering lakes like a long green ribbon. Pristine nature includes bird-rich ponds and rugged marshes. Even sea eagles and flamingos have found their home here now. This is the nature surrounding present-day Dronten!
