Audio cycle route Drowned Villages in the Northeast Polder (1)

1 hour 45 minutes (29.0 km)

This cycle route starts and ends on World Heritage Site Schokland (at the big stones in front of the museum on Middelbuurt). It takes you into the past, which may make you look at the present in a very different way.

Along the way, Maritime Archaeologist Yftinus van Popta tells us about the villages that once occupied this area. And we meet Dirk, who lets you listen to the legends he digs up from the polder clay with his story detector.

You can cycle the route while listening to the stories, or you can dismount from time to time and sit on a bench to listen. Just whatever you feel comfortable with. The route is 29 km long and goes via the following cycling junctions: 61-47-85-39-52-98-69-18-27-65-13-20-87-21-61.
