By driving along the route, you’ll get to know the countryside of the Noordoostpolder, in the north of Flevoland, in a unique way. Discover the diversity of the polder and learn more about its history and current developments. The route changes every year and this year passes through Emmeloord, Bant, Creil and Rutten.
The car route is about 40 kilometres long and includes some 100 farms, workers' houses, water works and objects in lights. The light route is supported by an audio tour. While driving, visitors will learn more about the surroundings, farms and other places of interest through audio clips.
Both the route itself and the audio tour are free of charge. Do make sure you follow the route in the correct direction to avoid traffic jams along the way. The route, including the direction of travel, can be found on the website lichtroutenoordoostpolder.nl.
Food, drink and sanitary facilities are available along the way at the various experience locations. There is also plenty for children to expend their energy there. This makes the Illuminated Farmhouses Route a fun and educational outing for the whole family.
