With 4200 hectares, the Horsterwold is not only the most extensive forest in Flevoland, but also the largest contiguous deciduous forest in Western Europe. By bike you can easily pick up the Vogelakker, where rare birds can be spotted.
Green wall
Today you will explore the most special forest of Flevoland: the Horsterwold, just outside Zeewolde. Thanks to the fertile seabed on which the polder was built, many trees are already so high that they appear to be centuries old. Yet they are less than fifty years old. With its tall poplars, the Horsterwold looks like a green wall from a distance, but inside you will find forest meadows where deer graze. In addition to poplars, you will see chestnut trees, oaks and cherry trees here.
Steppe harrier
You will also pass the Nuldernauw and through Zeewolde. Then you cycle along the Vogelakker, which has only recently been constructed as a bird resting place. The endangered Montagu's harrier and the rare steppe harrier have already been spotted there. The area lives up to its name!
