Nature and Scenic Views

Flevoland’s landscape features a mix of man-made nature and expansive water bodies. This selection includes the Oostvaardersplassen, a major wetland known for bird-watching and wild grazers, and the Green Cathedral, a landscape art project mimicking Reims Cathedral with Lombardy poplars. Explore the surrounding lakes like Markermeer and Veluwemeer, or visit the Bos der Onverzettelijken, a national resistance monument. Several observation towers, such as the Poldertoren and Tuurtoren, provide views across the reclaimed polder land and its network of bird hides.
