it will soon be able to be admired in operation again.

An impressive part of the Waterloopbos, where wave power research was once conducted. In this large basin, waves were artificially generated to test how hydraulic structures could withstand the force of the sea. A fascinating piece of hydraulic engineering history in the heart of the forest! 🌿⚙️

Very nice cycle path by the lake.

A great route through the countryside. Strong winds are to be expected, though.

When the weather is nice, everyone can😃

Tsjûkemar is an inland lake in the Dutch province of Friesland on the edge of the province of Overijssel and the largest body of water in the so-called Friese Meren. It used to be just a shallow lake with no special tourist attractions. With a fixed bridge in the south (towards Lemmer), the Tsjûkemar ends in the north with one of the few remaining motorway lift bridges (towards Joure). The clearance height of the fixed bridge can block larger sailors. The towns of Echtenerbrug, Delfstrahuizen, Vierhuis and Oosterzee are located on the lake. There are also a few campsites. Echtenerbrug and Delfstrahuizen are separated by the Christaansloot pier. This is part of a small part of an old peat route that leads to the Tsjûkemar and is now equipped with many moorings. This is also where the exit towards the province of Overijssel is located. In the southwest, the exit leads over the Follegasloot to Groote Brekken and to Lemmer. Very nice cycle paths, swimming opportunities. Great nature.

Beautiful old lock house at the beginning of a lovely shell path!

Very beautiful lighthouse and quaint little town. Urk only became part of the Dutch mainland when the Noordoostpolder was drained. Nevertheless, the residents still live 'on Urk' and not 'in Urk'. In any case, the small town with its lively harbor is a great stopover on your bike tours.
