Description
Cycling briskly over the flat land of polders with agricultural holdings, ditches and canals is possible in the area around Emmeloord. Along the way you can enjoy endless views. Get to know the Noordoostpolder, the largest municipality in the Netherlands, and be amazed.
Through the Kuinderbos
The starting point of this route is in Emmeloord. From here you set course for the Kuinderbos. Just outside Emmeloord you cycle past extensive potato and flower bulb fields. Then you cycle straight through the Kuinderbos, the largest contiguous forest in the Noordoostpolder. This forest was planted in the period from 1947 to 1953. No fewer than 23 different types of ferns grow here. You then cycle further to Kuinre, Blankenham, Blokzijl and Marknesse. Between Kuinre and Blokzijl you cycle over a dike that separates the old land from the new land of the Noordoostpolder. The biggest difference is the winding ditches in the old country and the straight ditches in the newer part.
The layout of the polder
Around Emmeloord you will find connecting roads to ten smaller villages in a kind of star shape. This design of the polder with one place as the center is based on the model of the German geographer Christaller. The centers are within cycling distance of each other, although this is no longer so important now that most people have a car. This was not yet the case when the polder was developed.
