You need never be bored here. We have old, we have new. We have water, we have land. We have art, we have nature. It’s true, if you look closely, there’s a world to discover in our new land.
Come lose yourself in our museums that are filled with history. Listen to the stories left behind by the Zuiderzee and the polder pioneers. Wander through the impressive landscape art monuments. Stroll quietly through endless woods. And you can be sure that cycling along the straight polder fields and the babbling ditches dividing them can also be a great adventure.
“ Discover our new land ”
Time for some refreshment? The former sea was drained in order to provide all of the Netherlands with food. The fertile polder fields still produce the finest potatoes, vegetables and fruit. And you can taste the difference. Try it for yourself in our many excellent restaurants and cafés or grab something to eat on the go in a farm shop, stall or fruit dispenser.

From sea to land. The history of the Noordoostpolder is overflowing with beautiful stories.
Our landscape was designed eighty years ago on the developers’ drawing table. Straight lines and a planned allotment of nature, agricultural areas and the villages around Emmeloord.
In the Noordoostpolder the water is still being tamed every day. The Zuiderzee has not given up the fight even after decades of being drained.
