THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN LELYSTAD: OOSTVAARDERSPLASSEN, BATAVIA-STAD, BATAVIA-WERF, WATERPARK LELYSTAD, BELEVENISSENBOS.

THE OOSTVAARDERSPLASSEN

A large area of land between Almere and City was originally planned to be an industrial area after the reclamation of the land in Flevoland, but a spontaneous settlement of important flora and fauna in the area caused this idea to be scrapped in favor of a nature park. Covering around 56 square kilometers the Oostvaardersplassen is home to numerous wild fowls and creatures and is a unique assurance territory for winged creatures. In the event that you are going via prepare amongst Almere and Lelystad you can frequently see deer, dairy animals, geese and horses living uninhibitedly on the open fields.

BATAVIA-STAD

One of the most well-known attractions in City is Batavia-Stad; a massive factory outlet shopping centre. Open 7 days a week and only closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, Batavia-Stad draws crowds from all over the country looking for top-brand clothing and home-wares at discounted prices. Clearly, on the off chance that you will burn through cash then this isn’t free, yet essentially to meander among the shops taking in the air and window-shopping is free. The perplexing itself is quite, worked to resemble a seventeenth century style town.

BATAVIA-WERF

Directly next-door to Batavia-Stad is the Batavia-Werf, and moored in the water next to that is the replica of the VOC ship Batavia. A rather bloody mutiny and massacre took place amongst the survivors on the islands in Western Australia and the Batavia has become rather infamous.

NATURE PARK LELYSTAD

One of the favorite things to do in Citi is visiting the nature park. This nature park consists of 400 hectares of land that is filled with walking and cycling paths, forest, fields, lakes, rivers, and wildlife. You can see wild pigs, Przewalski’s stallions, otters, storks, elk, deer, buffalo, winged animals of prey, herons and perhaps (in case you’re exceptionally fortunate) beavers. The creatures have loads of room to meander and it’s a phenomenal place to go for a walk, bicycle ride or outing. There’s likewise a play region for kids (with an extremely cool flying fox) and an eatery sitting above the lake.

BELEVENISSENBOS

Another spot that is great for nature and/or for kids is the Belevenissenbos. Described as a playground forest this is a great place for kids aged between 6-16 to have fun climbing, jumping, swimming and exploring. There’s a little area with some wild horses (which you are not allowed to approach) as well as a dedicated dog ‘beach’ alongside the Zuigerplas lake.
