Almere erfgoedwandeling: van zeebodem tot Sluiskade, Zelfgeleide app-wandeling

About this experience

Tien haltes door Almere Haven, de oudste wijk van één van de jongste steden ter wereld. Gestart op kale polderzeebodem in 1975, met de allereerste sleuteloverdracht op 30 november 1976 in café De Roef. De stedenbouwkundigen probeerden niets nieuws te ontwerpen, ze kopieerden bewust de kleinschalige grachten en menselijke maat van Zuiderzeesteden zoals Edam, zodat de eerste 100 Amsterdammers zich thuis zouden voelen op land dat tien jaar eerder nog niet bestond. De route omvat het eerste huis van Almere, een schip­vormige kerk met een 35 meter hoge RIJP-toren, een Edam-geïnspireerde gracht, het Stadswerfpark in klaverbladpatroon, de jachthaven aan het Gooimeer, en als slot een dijk waar in 1968 nog water stond. Een 50-jarige stad die zich overtuigend voordoet als 500. How it works This is a self-guided digital walking tour in the StepQuests mobile app. There is no live guide.
