Description

The Noordoostpolder was created in an area that for a long time consisted of the sea. Before the Zuiderzee was created, there was already a small piece of land where people lived. The former island of Schokland was the last remnant of this ancient country. Nowadays, the island and the land around it have been reclaimed, preventing it from disappearing permanently. Schokland is now part of the UNESCO World Heritage. It symbolizes Dutch life with water. In the Schokland Museum you can learn more about the history of this village.

Architecture in Nagele
Nagele was built by the De Acht architectural group, which included architects such as Gerrit Rietveld and Aldo van Eyck. Nagele is special to see because straight lines and planes are consistently applied. The village is one of the few places where modern architects could realize their ideas on a large scale. The buildings in Nagele are strict and straight with lots of glass, concrete and flat roofs. Museum Nagele focuses on the special architecture and you can learn more about the history of Nagele. The exhibits in this museum change regularly, so there is always something new to see.

Historic Urk
The route starts and ends in ancient Urk, a lively and characteristic fishing village. You still experience that island feeling here with a walk through the maze of alleys in the old picturesque village center. You have surprising vistas, cozy squares, characteristic facade signs and many graceful decorations with anchors and ships. Feel free to cycle to Tourist Info Urk before or after your route for more information about this region. The information point is located in Museum Het Oude Raadhuis.
