A Tourist Orientation Point (TOP) is the perfect starting point for your hike or bike ride on sign-posted paths and roads. Each TOP has (free) parking facilities and there is almost always a restaurant nearby, so you can treat yourself to something to eat or drink after your hike or bike ride. The TOPs in Flevoland are recognisable by their 3 metres high corten steel info columns, which contain a map of the area and several route suggestions.
As every TOP contains a number of suggestions for hiking and cycling routes you can follow from that TOP, you can start your hiking or cycling tour without any preparation at a TOP. Of course, you can also first choose a nice route on this website and print it out or download it to your phone or navigation device. Then you only use the TOP for free parking of your car and for the, usually present, catering facilities. Whatever suits you best.
