What to expect
Schokland is a former island in the Dutch Zuiderzee, now a slightly elevated part of the Noordoostpolder. It has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to prehistoric times. The island was once under constant threat of flooding due to the rise in sea level, and by the 19th century, it was abandoned. Today, Schokland is a popular archaeological site and home to the Museum Schokland, which tells the story of the island's history and the struggle of its inhabitants against the water. Visitors can explore the museum, the church, and the surrounding landscape, which offers a unique glimpse into the Netherlands' past. The area is also a great place for outdoor activities, such as cycling and walking, and offers a chance to experience the country's natural beauty
