After the Zuiderzee was separated from the North Sea, part of the body of water then called "IJsselmeer" was reclaimed by polders. The last polder to be drained was South Flevoland in 1968. In 1972, the forest area Horsterwold began to be established here. By the end of the 1980s, 5000 ha of forest had been planted, which grew quickly on the nutrient-rich soil. Apart from a few small coniferous forest stands, it consists of deciduous forest. This makes Horsterwold one of the largest contiguous deciduous forest areas in Central Europe. The forest is used for timber production, but in the sub-area De Stille Kern, it is left to develop naturally. A large part of the hike runs off the beaten path here. The nutrient-poor sandy soil along the dike provides a botanical surprise at the end.
At the NCC bus stop in Zeewolde, we follow the road on the parallel bicycle path around the bend. After the bend, a grassy path with signs from Staatsbosbeheer (Randmeerbossen) crosses. We turn left into the forest here. We follow this grassy path straight ahead to the end. At the end, we turn left until we can immediately turn right onto a path parallel to the crossing road. Our route crosses a small canal, then left over Dasselaarweg and right over Spiekweg into a "Fietspad" (bike path). At a T-junction, we turn right towards Zeewolde. Where the main path branches left, we continue straight along the bicycle path. At the end, just before a golf course, we turn left. The path curves widely right around the golf course and then makes a left turn where the golf course becomes visible again. We cross a paved avenue and then turn right at the first intersection. Just before the road, we walk left along the ditch. We cross a canal and on the other side go left.We first have to push through
