Beautiful lake. Delicious fresh water even in the summer. Please note: it is an old sand quarry with very deep areas where the water can be a lot colder than at the sandy beach.

Hiking

Recreational lake Het Blauwe Meer is located within the Leggelderveld nature reserve, south-east of the village of Hoogersmilde. The lake is surrounded by trees and was created by sand-draining activities. The founder of the sand-lime brick factory chose this location because Hoogersmilde was easy to reach by ship. Moreover, there was no shortage of white sand. Due to the sand suction, the Blue Lake is very deep.
