IJsselmeer dike between Edam and Warder. From Wikipedia

The Moordenaarsbraak is the remains of one of the many dike breaches in North Holland caused by flooding of the Zuiderzee. Between Edam and Hoorn, the IJsselmeer dike owes its winding shape to the dike breaches, which the dike was then built around. The Moordenaarsbraak probably originated in the period between 1775 and 1849.[1] The Moordenaarsbraak is a more or less circular water area, which is bordered by a reed collar. The Moordenaarsbraak has been designated as a provincial monument because it is seen as a "defining element in the North Holland Polder landscape".[2] The name Moordenaarsbraak refers to the violence of the sea, which caused people in the area to be murdered.[3] The nature reserve is managed by Staatsbosbeheer. Just south of the Moordenaarsbraak are the Groote Braak and the Kleine Braak and just north of the Zandbraak and the Hogendijkerbraak, all located within a distance of approximately 5 kilometers along the IJs

Lovely park away from the hustle and bustle of the market

Nice NSG just behind Almere at the campsite

A place to pause for a moment. The Auschwitz Monument (also known as Spiegelmonument 'Nooit Meer Auschwitz' or Broken mirrors) is a Dutch memorial monument in the Wertheimpark in Amsterdam in memory of those who died in the Auschwitz concentration camp and the other concentration and extermination camps. The monument was designed in 1977 by writer and visual artist Jan Wolkers. Wolkers had been commissioned to make a monument above an urn with ashes of victims from the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Small park without much noise from the cars. Some people with dogs are out

Since 1971, the Lepelaarplassen has been a 500-hectare nature reserve on the Markermeer and was designated a Natura 2000 area in 2009. The core of the Lepelaarplassen consists of clay marshes with three ponds, which were created by the sand excavation during the construction of the Oostvaardersdijk. Along the dyke there is a fourth (percolating) lake where many birds can be found. Lepelaarplassen is located on an important route for migratory birds. There is a cormorant colony in the area. The cormorants settled in 1985 with about 240 pairs and grew to 5,000 breeding pairs. Due to the lower fish supply, especially in the Markermeer, the colony has been around 1,100 pairs for several years. In the heart of the area there is a large breeding colony of great white egrets (about 150 breeding pairs). Apart from the marshy, willow-covered part that arose spontaneously after the reclamation of Zuidelijk Flevoland, the area consists largely of open water and reed beds. There are also numerous meadows with puddles where many meadow birds, geese and other waterfowl forage, as well as a sandy mound intended for the sand martin. The construction of a low dike raised the water level in the area, increasing the proportion of swampy and wet grassland. Source Wikipedia
