Ruins route Schokland

In the past, this would have been a walk with the rustling of waves in the background. Now the call of birds sounds above a vast green landscape. The Ruins Route follows the contours of southern Schokland, surrounded by forests, marshes and wet grasslands. A beautiful setting to let the stories of the former Zuiderzee island sink in.

The Ruin Route takes you past the following highlights:

1. Stones from the far north
2. Schokkerbos
3. Century-old picnic table
4. Church ruins of Ens
5. The Zuidert
6. Middelbuurt

In the complete route description you will find more information about these highlights, including beautiful nature photos and fun facts. This route description can be downloaded from the website of Het Flevo-landschap, which manages the area over which the walking route runs. Download the detailed route description here.
