First sea, now land. That is Flevoland. Where once there was only the water of the Zuiderzee, the youngest province in the country can now be found. There is an attractive living, working and recreation area on the former seabed. Flevoland is home to 401,200 inhabitants and 630 windmills on an area of 2,412 km2 of land and water. With a total of 6 municipalities, Flevoland is an open space with a strict layout. This open space is mainly designed for agriculture: 89,000 hectares of large and efficiently designed plots. The business community is also given plenty of room to take initiatives that can make dreams and ambitions come true.
In addition to drying, reclaiming and furnishing the new land in the former Zuiderzee, the polder also had to be managed. On January 1, 1986, the institution of the province of Flevoland is a fact and therefore also a historical event in the administrative history of The Netherlands. Historic, because a new province is not added every day.
Being easily accessible is one of the conditions for a pleasant living and working climate. Flevoland administration considers that it is important to travel easily and without delay through the province: the A6 and A27 form important connections between the north and west. Another important action is to optimally control the flow.
Flevoland as a destination for a day trip or holiday: yes! The province of Flevoland invests in the leisure economy. So that Flevoland can become even more attractive to residents, companies and visitors. The province wants to increase the range of hotels for this and to realize good and safe cycle paths, walking routes and sailing routes. An attractive and safe waterway, attractive beaches and forests and accessible nature reserves are also part of this. An attractive range of culture and sports enhances the experience value of Flevoland for tourists and recreation seekers.
In many areas, there are also other facilities, such as bird-watching huts, a visitor center or a catering facility. Information about the activities and accessibility can be found on the Mooi Flevoland website: http://www.mooiflevoland.nl.
