Cycling along the Oostvaardersplassen

The Oostvaardersplassen is a unique nature reserve. Nice to explore better from the saddle. Then you cycle along the Oostvaardersdijk. Get a breath of fresh air while looking out over the rippling Markermeer on the right. On the left are the Oostvaardersplassen: one of the Netherlands' most unspoilt nature reserves. Thousands of years ago, our entire country looked like this. Now this area with its reeds, water, rough grasslands and wild animals is unique in all of Europe. You can get off at the Oostvaarders Nature Experience Center. With the binoculars available here you can spot animals in the area without disturbing them. Further on you drive between the poplars, willows and reed fields of the Kotterbos.
