Experience the story of Flevoland while walking and take part in the quiz in the app. Walking has never been so informative and fun! A beautiful crawl and sneak path takes you to a beautiful open grass field (do not cross, but walk on the side, as this is a protected area). You also walk past several puddles. While Flevoland is a few metres below NAP almost everywhere, on this walk you climb to the top of the Bergbos, which is a whopping 14.5 metres above NAP.
This route has been made possible by the Lelystad municipality and Flevoland province. The story of Flevoland was realised in cooperation with museum Batavialand.
