Markermeer: one of the most beautiful lakes in the Netherlands

The Markermeer is a vast and spectacular lake in the north of the Netherlands. It was made by the impressive Houtribdijk, a dike that cut it off from the sea.

With its 700 km2, it is bigger than Singapore and is a wonderful refuge for hundreds of thousands of waterbirds. It is also a vital freshwater source and flood protection.

The Markermeer is a place where history, nature, and human creativity meet.

The Markermeer is an amazing destination for nature-lovers.
