20의 우르크가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

38 of the 86 wind turbines are on land, the remaining 48 turbines are located (nearshore) in the water in front of the dike.

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.

What inevitably catches the eye of the passing cyclist are the modern heirs of the beautiful historic windmills. Centuries ago, our predecessors were clever enough to use the power of the wind for their own purposes, by driving millstones and grinding grain into flour, for example. Often placed in the landscape in dozens, this modern and unaesthetic variant - in the past, people took care to design each individual mill - is used to generate electricity. These wind farms are not without controversy, as they are built without consideration for the landscape, and above all, the slender blades become a death trap for birds.

Very beautiful lighthouse on the beautiful former island of Urk Spacious view over the IJsselmeer

A beautiful beach that is nice and busy in the summer when the weather is good.

The 18.5 meter high lighthouse on the dike is located at the westernmost tip of Urk. Due to the closure of the Zuiderzee and the creation of the IJsselmeer, the lighthouse has lost its importance as a beacon, but is still the perfect tower for a beautiful view over the lake IJsselmeer. https://www.naupar.de/gehenswurdigkeiten/leuchtturm-urk/

Here was the western small shipyard of Urk. No longer in operation, you can walk around the former shipyard site. The history of the place is explained on large boards.
