힐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

The Oolderplas is a former quarry lake with a depth of up to 37 metres.

The very large lake has a maximum depth of 32 meters and has hardly any aquatic plants. The lake is a wintering area for water birds: Red-backed diver, red-throated diver and cormorant are observed there.

The Lange Vlieter is a lake that was created by gravel mining and is located next to the Boschmolenplas. This lake is also used as a drinking water lake. The Lange Vlieter serves as a reservoir for the production of drinking water. A beautiful walking route and a cycling path runs along the Lange Vlieter, the Boschmolenplas and the Polderplas.

The Maasplassen extend over a vast area of approximately 3,000 hectares, consisting of a network of lakes, ponds and canals created by gravel extraction. With clear blue water and surrounded by lush green banks, the Maasplassen offer a beautiful backdrop for all kinds of activities.

Typical Netherlands, the finest cycle paths in a great landscape (!)

Perfect place for a break

This year (2022) the lake has very little water, which can be clearly seen from the water level measuring bar.

I can only recommend a circumnavigation of the lake (by bike) to a very limited extent, the path is very deeply interspersed with sand.
