From Urk through the Noordoostpolder

The old center of Urk enjoys a protected village view, you will experience a wonderful historic atmosphere here. In Museum Het Oude Raadhuis you can learn more about the special history of this former Zuiderzee island. Then you can get a breath of fresh air for miles along the IJsselmeer. On the right you pass the Urkerbos and the neatly divided agricultural lands. In the Noordoostpolder you will experience wonderful tranquility in the vast landscape. Now that's fun cycling. A green surprise also awaits you: the Kuinderbos, the largest and oldest forest in the Noordoostpolder. The hundreds of thousands of young trees that have been planted here after hard work have produced a beautifully varied forest. Dismount for a moment to look at the bottom here: shell remains from the Zuiderzee can still be found between the trees.
