Noordoostpolder and Kuinderbos
Cycling in an impressive vastness with beautiful panoramic views stretching to the horizon, polder meadows, colorful fields, and diverse forests.
The Landscape
Approximately eighty years ago, the Noordoostpolder was conceived by designers. They drew straight lines and used a strict layout to create nature, agricultural areas, and villages around Emmeloord. The history of the Noordoostpolder tells a fascinating story of struggle, perseverance, and above all, pioneering work in this new land. Over all those years, time has not stood still on the former bottom of the Zuiderzee. The landscape has transformed into a breathtakingly vast area with farms seamlessly integrated into the landscape, colorful fields and fields, green pastures with grazing cows, beautiful forests with diverse vegetation, and stunning vistas that stretch to the horizon.
