South Flevoland and Horsterwold
Cycling in a beautifully landscaped countryside with open water, reed beds and one of the largest contiguous deciduous forests in the Netherlands.
The Landscape
In South Flevoland unfolds the vast expanse of Horsterwold, one of the largest continuous deciduous forests in the Netherlands. This vast landscape, abundant with diverse forests, is sustainably managed through the grazing activities of large herbivores, nurturing a robust ecosystem that includes woodlands, shrubbery, grassy plains, and moors. The woodlands of Horsterwold gracefully meet the waters of the nearby lakes, tracing the coastline and extending into the adjacent foreland. Beyond the dikes lies a narrow, elongated strip of sand adorned with alternating small beaches, damp dune valleys, and petite heath areas. Once atop the dikes, one is treated to a truly splendid panorama, offering an unparalleled view of the serene waters of the neighboring lakes.
