Nunspeet, Oldebroek and Elburg

Spruces and jagged oaks sway in the wind along rolling paths. The fragrant heathland and the rustling forests of Boswachterij Nunspeet offer a safe home to many animals. You will find puddles on the wet heath, where the growth of the purple-red sundew paints a pleasant picture. Rhododendrons and other beautiful plants are reflected in the water, where peace seekers come to their heart's content. The bushes are full of birds and if you look closely you can sometimes see wild boar burrowing tracks along the paths. Scrambling along the trees, they search for shallow pools to use as mud pits. On the other side of Nunspeet are the Randmeren. Unique plants such as pondweed and ringweed, for which a protection zone has even been established, prevent algal blooms in the shallow waters. Water birds, such as the little swan and the pochard, also find these plants very tasty. The Veluwerandmeren are such an important habitat for water birds that they too have been assigned a protected zone here. You used to find bream in the waters, but the territory of this fish has been taken by the perch and the roach. The presence of pike and eel is also stimulated. The lakes have an enchanting appeal to all kinds of activities in and around the water: canoeists, swimmers, skaters, sailors, surfers, pleasure boaters... almost every kind of water recreation can be found here. And you cycle around the picturesque town of Elburg. Originally, Elburg looked directly onto the Zuiderzee, but because the fishing and trading town regularly flooded, it was decided to move the town after the flood of 1367. During the reconstruction of Elburg it was turned into a real fortress; the intact canals and the Vischpoort are still reminders of this.
