Oostvaardersdijk

The Oostvaardersdijk is a road (the N701) running along the Markermeer coast of Flevoland, offering access to one of the most compelling stretches of the province's shoreline.

It serves as a natural gateway to the Oostvaardersplassen, the Netherlands' youngest national park and a celebrated experiment in wilderness engineering, known for its Konik ponies and expansive wetland habitats.

From this route, visitors can take in sweeping views over the Markermeer while traveling between Almere and the Houtribdijk, the 27-kilometer causeway completed in 1976 that connects Flevoland to Enkhuizen.

The road makes a practical and scenic access point for those exploring the broader Markermeer region by land.
