Beaver trip in Flevoland

Flevoland offers cyclists surprisingly beautiful nature experiences. The soil is extremely suitable for trees. The forests you drive through in Flevoland are so high that they seem centuries old instead of forty years old. The bushes under the trees grow so lush that you imagine yourself in the jungle. You will find many hidden, romantic spots here. It is not for nothing that the beaver also feels at home in this nature reserve. He finds enough shelters, water and food to survive. There are about 150 beavers in Flevoland. This route takes you along the green banks of the Hoge Vaart and the Lage Vaart, two canals that cross the Flevopolder and both end up on the Markermeer. Beavers are not particularly shy, so they also settle on the edge of inhabited areas. This increases the chance of a chance encounter with a beaver. In the summer they mainly eat reeds, cattails and other plants. In winter, the bark of willows, poplars and ash is mainly on the menu. The typical way in which beavers fell these bombs can therefore be found in the landscape especially in that period. This Bever route starts and ends at Stadslandgoed De Kemphaan in Almere. This estate is located in the middle of the Waterlandse Bos. You will find, among other things, a pancake restaurant where you can enjoy coffee and cake, lunch or dinner.
