Icon description route Description

Discover the beautiful urban forests of Lelystad on this bicycle tour and be surprised by the art and nature. You start the tour in Natuurpark Lelystad and soon cycle through the leafy Gelderse Hout, an oasis of peace and nature. Together with other green pearls such as the Zuigerplasbos, this area forms the green lungs of the city.

You pass the artwork "Crouching Man" in the distance and further on the route leads you along the picturesque Oostvaardersdiep, an idyllic lake that breathes tranquility and space. Towards the end of the tour, you will become acquainted with 'De Tong'. This eye-catching work of art along the A6 already caused many a discussion point here in the region, but has since become an iconic sculpture you can't look past. And before you know it, you are back in Natuurpark Lelystad.
