Noordoostpolder and Kuinderbos

The Landscape

Around eighty years ago, the Noordoostpolder sprang from the minds of visionary designers. With straight lines and a carefully thought-out layout, they brought order to the new land, where nature reserves, fertile farmlands, and villages were planned like a crown around Emmeloord. What was once a barren plain transformed into a living landscape, shaped by human hands and unwavering perseverance.

Over the years, time has not stood still on the former bed of the Zuiderzee. What was once an expansive body of water has transformed into a breathtaking, wide-open landscape, where the horizon seems endless. Farms seamlessly blend into the rhythm of the land, surrounded by colorful fields and crops that sway with the seasons. Green meadows, where cattle graze peacefully, give way to magnificent forests teeming with diverse vegetation. Let yourself be carried away by the allure of this landscape, where nature and human hands come together, and the horizon constantly challenges you to discover more.
