Rest area and viewing platform with a view of the Weluwemeer.

Recently new asphalt. So new that it was actually still closed and I had to sprint via the verge against an excavator that was ploughing the aforementioned verge.

Keep on going

It is a viaduct. Still a nice change after all the flat roads in Flevoland. Imagine yourself on the Ventoux for ten seconds!

The Eemnes pumping station is a pumping station dating from 1880 located on the Eemnesservaart in the Dutch province of Utrecht. Originally, the drainage of the Eemnesserpolder took place via several locks, including the Eemnessersluis. Until 1791, the water was drained from the polder using a simple sluice.[1] The Zuiderzee still had a tide and at low tide the lock was opened and the water flowed out of the polder. Due to the subsidence in the polder, this no longer worked and in 1791 it was decided to build a windmill.[1] The mill was built next to the lock, on the spot where the machinist's house is located. This mill was replaced by a steam-powered pumping station around 1880 because the capacity of the mill was too small.[2] In 1921, this steam-powered pumping station was converted into an electric pumping station designed by the Amsterdam engineering firm W.C. and K. de Wit. The steam engine was removed and the chimney demolished. The old building was given an extension on the left and right, each with an electric pump. The new 'cat's tail' pumps pumped the water over the dike. In 1993, the pumping station function was taken over by submersible pumps in new pump cellars. The combined pumps can move 135 m³ per minute. The submersible pumps are located under the building and are not visible. In 2006, the pumping station was restored, whereby the pumps and electrical installations from 1921 were retained. The water in the Eemnes polder is currently about 70 centimetres lower than the water in the Eem. The difference in height is bridged for shipping by a lock.

From the observation point there you have a nice view of the Wolderwijd.

From the Zeewolde side you have a beautiful view over the vast Wolderwijd, one of the peripheral lakes that surround Flevoland. The wide water surface, bordered by reed beds, attracts countless water birds and offers a peaceful, expansive view. Follow the cycle paths along the banks for a ride with a view of the water, or stop at one of the beaches to enjoy nature for a while.

You cycle here along endless views: a flat horizon, vast grasslands and straight canals. A typical Dutch picture.
