Can you imagine? The old port of Kuinre was a thriving commercial port in the Middle Ages, before the reclamation of Noordoostpolder . Discover it on a walk through the Kuinderbos! Skippers came from all over the Zuiderzee to trade and carry cargo.
As the old harbour silted up, it became inaccessible to ships and, with the reclamation of the Noordoostpolder in 1942, Kuinre finally came to an end as a port town. The old harbour that thus lost its function has been restored to its former state and so you can imagine yourself in the old days with a visit. The area is popular with ring snakes and dragonflies.
Fun to discover during a walk in the Kuinderbos!
