Welcome to Oostvaardersplassen — one of the wildest and most unique nature reserves in the Netherlands. This area was never meant to exist. It formed accidentally after land reclamation in the 1960s. Stretching over 5,600 hectares, it’s a paradise for birds, wild horses, and nature lovers alike. Here you can spot red deer, foxes, and even white-tailed eagles if you’re lucky. These wetlands are vital for migratory birds crossing Europe. Oostvaardersplassen is part of the Nieuw Land National Park — one of the newest in the Netherlands. Can you believe this was once the bottom of the sea? Welcome to Flevoland, the largest artificial island in the world. The wild Konik horses here roam freely — they help maintain the natural balance by grazing the land. This place has been the subject of international documentaries due to its unique rewilding approach. Want to disconnect from the world? There are hardly any cars, just silence, wind, and nature. In winter, parts of the reserve freeze and become magical icy landscapes — ideal for wildlife photography. Did you know? The Dutch government once debated whether to interfere or let nature take its course here. Cycling through here feels like entering a time before cities, roads, or noise. This route you’re riding today is one of the best kept secrets in Dutch cycling culture. It’s not just beautiful — it’s also a living experiment in how we coexist with wild ecosystems. Every season transforms this landscape. Come back in spring and it’s full of life and birdsong. The Oostvaardersplassen teaches us something rare: how to just watch and let nature be. Thank you for riding along. Don’t forget to subscribe for more cinematic nature rides like this one!
