    In 1968, when the southern IJsselmeer was drained, it turned out that the deepest parts of the polder were not completely dry. Because it was not necessary for industry or agriculture, the area of approximately 5,600 hectares remained unused. Amazingly, a species-rich lowland emerged in a very short time – the Oostervaardersplassen. In 1986 it was even declared a national natural monument. The vast areas are an important habitat for birds, deer, deer and foxes. In addition, Konik horses and heifers live here and take care of the landscape.

    The nature reserve itself cannot be entered, but you always have a beautiful view from the cycle path.
