Lemmer town center and canals

Highlight • Settlement

A nice place with lots of shopping opportunities and many canals. The drawbridge is constantly in motion.

The Woudegamaal was designed by Ir. Dirk Frederik Wouda and is located just outside the center of Lemmer. The pumping station is the largest steam pumping station ever built, the chimney is no less than 60 meters high. The pumping station is still in use, although on average it is only used once a year during very extreme rainfall. This building is so unique that it has been designated as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Netherlands.

Noordoostpolder Wind Farm

Highlight • Structure

There is a gigantic wind farm right next to Urk. The 48 windmills, each nearly 200 meters high, provide energy for some 160,000 households. So expect a big blow here.

September 24, 2024,Urk-Leuchtturm – Urk Runde von West

The route to Urk along the sea is boring. On the left is the dike and the wind turbines, on the right is the sea, where there is nothing to see except the occasional duck, cormorant and grey heron. And that is for a distance of 25 km.
The way back is consistently along the main road. You do ride …

A rather boring tour for those interested in seeing and discovering more. It starts in Lemmer and runs 24 km close to the IJsselmeer to Urk. All the while it offers only one image: an endless long way as far as the eye can see, to the horizon....(!) and to the right an endless sea view . At first you …

Average tour. The route along the Ijsselmeer would have been nicer without the billions of mini flies. Otherwise, the rest of the route was easy to ride, but always along main roads

Lots of headwind - half day break and a special place to sleep.

A relaxing tour. It's a straight run along the water. At the end, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful place.

Who can say they've ever cycled to an island?

Without a boat!
