The recreational cycling route 'Polderproeven De Veenkuil' starts and ends at Nature Camping Site De Veenkuil in the Kuinderbos near Bant. Here you can camp with your tent, caravan or camper on a clear grass field with trees in the middle.

The route 'Polderproevers De Veenkuil' takes you through the Kuinderbos and nature reserve the Burchttocht. But first you drive to Luttelgeest, where you pass two farm shops. One of these is also a cycle break point, which means you are welcome to use some facilities there free of charge, such as a toilet and a water tap.
Do you have time for a longer stopover and love plants and animals? Then get off at Pantropica in Luttelgeest, where you can wander among thousands of butterflies, free-flying toucans and giant palms and admire various monkeys, turtles, fish, (water) birds, meerkats and much more.
You will pass several catering establishments along the way, where you can have a nice lunch or a bite to eat. You will find them linked to this route as intermediate stops. For each stopover, you can click through to more information about the location in question. Some of these locations are not exactly on the route, but are well worth a short diversions.
Be sure to poke around the farm shops of Fruitbedrijf Hoekstra and Verhage Fruit in Luttelgeest. There, in addition to local and fresh fruit, they also have various vegetables and other seasonal regional products for sale. Take some with you for the evening in your accommodation, so you can relive your day in Noordoostpolder with the tastiest regional products. That's what we call polder tasting.
