Lelystad

Landscape

Lelystad is area-wise the largest municipality in the Netherlands. A big part of that area is water: Markermeer and IJsselmeer. Another major area is the internationally famous nature park Oostvaardersplassen, which spontaneously grew when the polder of South Flevoland was drained. Lelystad is also surrounded by "a square of woodlands and parks" and flat farmland. The location of the city makes weather & skies especially beautiful. The importance of the landscape & sky is emphasized by several pieces of land art: engineers' work & arts like the Observatorium by Robert Morris (see below).
