General presentation
Flevoland et Oostvaardersplassen
Recent polder landscape, new cities, bird reserves, dykes and large spaces win over water.
To understand what Flevoland and Oostvaardersplassen are, look at Oostvaardersplassen, Lelystad and Batavialand. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by shores and lakes, natural spaces and the countryside and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: atypical landscape and little urban and exposed weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Oostvaardersplassen
I'm not sure what I'm doing.Oostvaardersplassen is a mosaic of natural spaces where distances and perspectives are gradually changing. Walking or gentle crossing becomes a careful observation of wetlands, water lines and animals at the edge of the landscape.
Place
Lelystad
Lelystad tells of the recent Netherlands, of the land earned on the water, of the wide avenues and of the planned neighborhoods. The city is especially worth this dialogue between new urban planning, dikes, harbours and great skies, especially for those interested in the made landscapes.
Museum
Batavialand
Batavialand plunges into Dutch maritime history through ships, workshops and stories of polders. The replica of the Batavia gives a very concrete dimension to the visit: wood, ropes, holds and bridges transform ancient navigation into physical experience, also readable by children.
Nature
Marker Wadden
Marker Wadden offers a new geography, with sand banks, water passages and view platforms that change according to the tides. Places of walking and contemplation respond with light, especially when following the lines of coast.
