TOTAL DISTANCE

km
Wie Lelystad zegt, denkt aan rechte wegen en moderne architectuur. Maar ook de geschiedenis is bekend: inpoldering, de plannen van Cornelis Lely en het Werkeiland. De landschapskunstwerken zijn een goede reden om naar Lelystad te gaan, net als Batavia Stad Fashion Outlet en het VOC-schip de Batavia.

Lelystad bestaat pas sinds de jaren zestig, maar heeft zeker al een imago en een aantal typische herkenbare karakteristieken. Ontdek deze met deze fietsroute.
