우르크 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

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.

What inevitably catches the eye of passing cyclists are the modern-day successors to the beautiful historic windmills. Centuries ago, our ancestors were already clever enough to harness the power of the wind for their own purposes, using it to drive millstones and grind grain into flour, for example. Often placed in the landscape by the dozen, this modern and rather unsightly version – in the past, every single mill was carefully considered in its architecture – serves to generate electricity. These wind farms are controversial, as their construction disregards the landscape, and, more importantly, the slender sails become death traps for birds.

beautiful route. both cycling and walking. along the dike and Urk forest

Sculptures in the harbor of Urk.

The Urk municipal harbor is a modern and well-equipped recreational harbor on the edge of the historic village, with access to both quays and floating moorings on strutted jetties. Since its recent expansion, the harbor offers over 200 berths, a significant number of which are available to visitors during the summer months.

I especially liked the small houses with their little terraces.

Very long!

nice route right along the water, some sheep on the path make it cozy
