In the Noordoostpolder , we have three TOPs. A TOP stands for Toeristisch OverstapPunt (Tourist Transfer Point). A TOP is the perfect starting point for your cycling or walking tour. There is always enough parking space at a TOP, making it easy to continue on foot or by bike. There is also often a catering establishment nearby. Various signposted hiking and cycling routes start at every TOP.
