Cycling along the Randmeren, through special forests and vast polders? You do that in Flevoland, the youngest province where it is wonderful to cycle.

City forests Almere
Just below Almere you drive through a number of special city forests. You will pass through the Circle Forest, which has been laid out with clean straight lines. You mainly see hazel, beech and alder. The Cathedral Forest owes its name to two'cathedrals\\': life-size green replicas of Reims Cathedral. One consists of a grassy plain in the forest, the other represents the pillars of the cathedral with Italian poplars.

Green Wall
On the banks of the Gooi and Eemmeer you have beautiful views over the water and the polders and contours of villages on the other side. From the path along the Hoge Vaart canal you can see a green wall looming: the Horsterwold, the largest contiguous deciduous forest in Western Europe. It is a pleasure to drive in this quiet and varied forest.

Kasteel Almere

1358 BT Almere

The plans for building the castle date from 1999. The design is based on the 13th century castle Jemeppe in Hargimont (Belgium). The first pile was driven on September 15, 2000. The costs of the castle were initially estimated at 60 million guilders (more than 27 million euros), later increased to 120 million guilders. The construction project was halted in 2002 due to financial problems. In 2005 the project was bought by the previously established company Gravin BV. In addition to a hotel and a wedding location in the castle, Countess also wanted to build houses on the site. However, to make the latter possible, a change to the zoning plan was necessary. In 2008, the Almere municipal council decided not to agree to a proposal to this effect.
