The IJsselmeer is the largest inland lake in the Netherlands and is an important habitat for waterfowl, fish, and other aquatic animals. Gulls, geese, and occasionally cormorants are regularly seen here. The combination of open water, reed banks, and the rural landscape of Urk creates a sense of space, tranquility, and connection with nature.

Beautiful bridge at the marina.

Urk beach is a small, cozy beach on the IJsselmeer, near the lighthouse and the old village center. Here you'll find peace and quiet, views over the water, and a relaxed atmosphere. Ideal for families with children or a quick stop during a walk or bike ride along the dike. The shallow water makes it safe for paddling and playing. Bring a blanket and enjoy a picnic while watching the boats sail by. Combine your visit to the beach with a walk along the adjacent cobblestone path towards the lighthouse, or visit the nearby Urkerbos forest for a refreshing, shady stroll. In summer, there are often small events or food trucks near the beach.

Along the dikes of the IJsselmeer on the west side of the Noordoostpolder lies one of the largest wind farms in the Netherlands, with a total of 86 wind turbines on land and in the water.

beautiful walking route along the ysselmeer and dike

walk along the dike from Urk to Lemmer. with over the dike. newly constructed cycle path. also for walking

Beautiful route with a lot of steering, it is useful to start at the Voorsterbos (at the roundabout in Kraggenburg) there it starts a bit long and flat, ideal to warm up the muscles.

A wonderful view of the IJsselmeer
