Letters WIJ FLEVOLAND arrive in Zeewolde
Entering Zeewolde and being greeted by the towering WIJ FLEVOLAND letters: this is now possible starting Monday, March 16. The letters are located along the Zeewolderweg, near the Havenkwartier. An ideal spot where living, water, and recreation come together.
Zeewolde has the honor of giving the WIJ FLEVOLAND journey a positive turn. The letters were unveiled in Urk at the end of January, only to be destroyed a week later. After repairs and a thorough cleaning, they now stand fresh and ready to go again. It’s no coincidence that this renewed journey begins in Zeewolde.
