The Effect of Greenhouses
The area around Lelystad is a testament to human ingenuity and labour, being 3 metres below sea level.
Visit two enormous complexes where the controlled environment allows year-round production of flowering plants and vegetables: WP 2 - De Tuindershoek is a large complex of greenhouses run entirely by robots. Apparently. WP 3 - Grimme Groencentrum in Luttelgeest is a nursery covering more than 2 hectares.
There are also hundreds of wind turbines between WP 5, 6 and 7.
At WP 7, Houtribsluizen is a lock at the start of a 26km road on the Houtribdgk dam.
