Description
On this route you cycle through the polder, forests and along the water of the IJsselmeer. You will also visit the two former islands of Schokland and Urk. Schokland is surrounded by land. Urk is located on the IJsselmeer and has a pleasant harbor where you can relax on one of the terraces.
You cycle via the historic point of Emmeloord on Schokland to modern Emmeloord. Here you can shop and/or eat something or enjoy a terrace.
At which point on the route you start, you will see a lot of variety in the landscape. In the spring, many bulb fields are in bloom in the Noordoostpolder, which makes this cycling tour extra special.
If you come by car, you can park it well on Urk at Shopping Center Urkerhard, on Schokland there is a spacious parking lot and possibly at Schokkerhaven, near the beach. There is also ample parking here.
So if you like polder, forest and water and also want to experience a piece of history, take this route.
