There are many in the reserve interesting places for walks, on its territory grow rare plants, there are many species of rare animals and birds. This is one of the few parks in Europe where you can watch wild horses.
One of the most unusual city attractions is Kempfaan Park. It was founded by the townspeople themselves as a “shelter” for homeless animals; today it looks more like a small zoo. This park has special enclosures for monkeys, goats and even guinea pigs. Visitors are allowed to hold, pet and feed many of the park’s inhabitants. Recently, a children's museum was opened on the territory of this park, where young visitors are invited to try themselves as representatives of various professions.
An equally interesting attraction that is worth visiting with the whole family is the Almere Jungle zoological complex. This large-scale center was equipped with a large artificial pond, where turtles and fish live today. In this zoological center you can also see cute hamsters and guinea pigs, and some species of exotic birds are also represented here.

Resort description:
Almere is a city located in the south of the province of Flevoland and in the central part of the Netherlands, and 22 kilometers from Amsterdam. Almere is considered one of the newest, youngest cities in the Netherlands.
Previously, in the lands where Almera and the entire province of Flevoland are now located, there was some part of the Zuider Bay, which is part of the North Sea. The gulf extended across the country for approximately 5,000 kilometers and therefore often caused floods. After another rather large flood that occurred in 1916, it was decided to drain it. After the construction of the dam in 1927-1933, Lake IJsselmeer was formed, which was later divided into two lakes, IJsselmeer and Markermeer. Afterwards, one part of Lake IJsselmeer was drained and the province of Flevoland and, accordingly, the city of Almeer were formed on this territory.
At first, they wanted to use the lands reclaimed from the sea for agricultural purposes, but due to the proximity of Amsterdam, where the number of residents rapidly increased after the events of World War II, a need arose for a place for new residence in the capital of the country and its environs. In 1976, construction began on the city of Almere, which was converted into a single community in 1984 and is currently one of the growing cities in the Netherlands, with a population of about 200,000 thousand people.

When planning your trip, it is best to take care of health insurance in advance.
The overall impression is much, much better than one would expect, having been brought up on tales from TV about rampant drug addiction, fucking red light districts and continuous rains, which were not confirmed by anything.
To the sea: There are bodies of water all around in Holland, one of them is right in front of the windows of the house, but you can/want to swim not everywhere. The nearest decent beach is about 20 minutes by bike.
very calm, normal Europeans, a little childish, because they raise children without straining, like when they grow up, they grow up, let them do what they like.
"one might say all year round- off-season, winter - +7+9, summer +20
Although this year in winter, for the first time in the last N years, the canals even froze and people went skating. A couple of years ago it was +16 all summer long. In Siberia, temperature differences during the day are greater than here between summer and winter."
I have no formal education :-)
everything is good in the country - a lot of universities, science is at a good level - in world news I constantly read references to the achievements of Dutch universities in various technologies, architecture, design.
Health insurance is required and amounts to approximately 100 euros per month per person. Medicine - on high level, especially in technical terms, in terms of the availability of treatment for non-trivial diseases. With trivial ones, everything is not very good, the main recipe is that it will resolve itself.
Almost everyone speaks English. But all the official stuff is strictly in Dutch. Therefore, whether you want it or not, you have to learn at least the basics. If you want to obtain citizenship, you will need to take a language exam.
The roads are excellent, the drivers are polite to pedestrians, cyclists and each other. And getting used to this politeness, after the general rudeness on the roads in big cities of Russia, is not easy - you wait like a fool on a zebra crossing for a car to pass, and it waits for you to cross. Public transport, by Russian standards, is simply super - on schedule to the minute, you can rely on connections - you arrived, immediately changed to another train and moved on. Locals don’t like buses because they can arrive a few minutes (!) earlier and you’ll have to wait for the next one (10-15 minutes).
Travel to other countries: A bunch of Schengen countries, plus, of course, countries that give entry visas or facilitated entry for Russians - http://img.vz.ru/upimg/218/218526.gif
I don’t know, I’m not interested, but sometimes vacancies are offered, and occasionally I see offers for foreign specialists, i.e. This includes a visa, work permit, transfer, etc.
For two years I rented different 3-room apartments in Amsterdam for about 1000 euros. I'm currently paying a mortgage on a house. But this is not the kind of mortgage we are used to, but only interest. Those. It turns out that the housing is assigned to you with all the ensuing expenses and the delights of your own home, and you pay as if rent, but the amount is comparable to the rent of much worse housing.
Sometimes they are mentioned in the news, but such revelry as in home country No. It is safe to go anywhere at any time, although there are certain areas in big cities where it is not safe. But that’s just rumors, I haven’t come across it myself and there was no desire to wander there.
The growth of local women is impressive. Lots of tall girls. As for weight, everything is also not clear - according to the results of a recent study, Dutch women are the second most overweight after English women. As for beauty, there are some attractive ones, but I like Slavic beauty more.
