Horseback Riding in Lelystad
As the capital of the new nature, we love horses. The Lelystad forests are therefore excellent to explore by horse. Because what could be more fun than going into the woods with your horse or pony?
Equestrian trails and routes
The Lelystadse forests are ideally suited for a nice varied forest ride. Unfortunately, not all routes are available digitally yet, but via Outdoorriding.nl or Riding & Driving Is it possible to plan a nice route?
The starting point of the routes in the Gelderse Hout and Overijsselse Hout forest areas, on the eastern edge of Lelystad, is Riding school Lelystad. Located at Hoefslag 1. There is ample parking space for your car and trailer and you can enjoy delicious snacks, tasty sandwiches or a refreshing drink in the canteen or on the terrace.
On the website of the Paarden Platform Lelystad (PPL) you will find more information about the bridleways and routes in our green nature.
