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.
