South Flevoland
To the south of East Flevoland is the younger South Flevoland polder, finally won back from the sea in 1968, with an area of 43,000 hectares/107,500 acres. Cultivation of the reclaimed land began only in 1978 and is not yet complete. On this polder the various stages of development can be seen, from the pre- cultivation measures carried out by the state by way of barley growing to the final phase in which wheat is grown.

Oostvaardersplassen
A quarter of the area of the Flevoland polder has been left in its natural state, as in the extensive Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve, an area of lakes with large numbers of migrant birds, including spoonbills and cormorants. The birds can be watched from an observation post on the Knardijk.
