West Shore of Het Blauwe Meer

Highlight • Lake

The name 'Het Blauwe Meer' is absolutely appropriate. A beautiful lake in the bright colors of blue and green. Stroll along the riverbank and look at all the different colors you encounter.

Het Blauwe Meer Beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful lake. Delicious fresh water even in the summer. Please note: it is an old sand quarry with very deep areas where the water can be a lot colder than at the sandy beach.
