IJsselmeer

Would you like to get away for a few days with your family or friends? Then choose a group accommodation at the IJsselmeer. Here you can relax, but there is also plenty to do. Everyone will have a great time here. Head to the beaches for snorkelling, water kayaking, boating or sailing or kite flying. In the restaurants, there is plenty of choice. Everyone is happy in a group accommodation by the water!

Although you may not immediately think of the IJsselmeer as a nature reserve, it is indeed an area of great significance for nature. Indeed, the IJsselmeer is one of the largest freshwater reservoirs within all of Western Europe. It is a relatively young lake, as the sea had free rein here until 1932. Until that year, when the Afsluitdijk was built, this turned the lake into a freshwater area. Fun to visit there.

Bird watching during your weekend break at the IJsselmeer

If you lovebirds, a group accommodation on the IJsselmeer is the right place for you. In spring and during summer, numerous bird species can be seen on the water, such as the cormorant, great crested grebe, little grebe and little gull.

In the various reed areas on the edges of the IJsselmeer, you ll find other special reed-bird species.
