Gooi and Eemland

The Landscape

Imagine a park-like landscape with large wild animals like aurochs, bears, mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses and giant deer. Groups of hunting and gathering Neanderthals crisscross the area. It sounds like something out of a fable, but this is what the landscape in the Gooi en Eemland must have looked like about 100,000 years ago. The current landscape is just as interesting. In the Gooi a mosaic of nature reserves with heaths, forests, sand drifts and historic fields. In the region Eemland vast peat meadows, ditches, dikes and open polders. And on the horizon the sparkling waters of the bordering lakes along the Flevopolder.
