South Flevoland is a young polder landscape, reclaimed in 1968 as part of the Zuiderzee Works. Straight roads, broad drainage canals and open fields create a carefully planned landscape with wide views that change color through the seasons. Around Zeewolde, water and nature are always close, with the Randmeren forming a striking natural boundary along the southern and eastern edges.

The Horsterwold is the natural highlight of the route. One of the largest contiguous deciduous forests in the Netherlands, it has developed on former seabed into a surprisingly wild landscape of woodland, grasslands, wetlands and creeks. In the Stille Kern, nature has been given plenty of space, with Konik horses, red deer, foxes and many bird species adding to the experience.
