How it all began... From a barren polder plain to green vacation park!
At the end of the 1960s Bob Stolk fantasized about a naturist terrain in the Netherlands, where everyone could enjoy naturism. In 1974 the committee N.N.T. was founded and in 1976 the location was announced: a 30 ha. large area near Nijkerk which would be provided with all conveniences. On July 1, 1978, Bob Stolk's fantasy became reality: the opening of Flevo-Nature! The opening is performed by Professor van Duin of the Rijksdienst voor de IJsselmeerpolders with the text:
"It takes a great deal of imagination to picture the future when Flevo-Nature lies here as the "Garden of Eden." But with the development of other areas in mind, I dare say that in 5 to 10 years there will be a vast forest here with a rich variety of plant and animal life, with which man must try to live in harmony."
And so it happened:
