Welcome to the visitor’s website of the Land of Leeghwater. This exceptionally beautiful area is situated in the National Landscape Laag Holland, surrounded by cities as Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Edam.
Here you will find the windmills, dikes, polders, two UNESCO world heritage sites (De Beemster and the Defence Line of Amsterdam), the ‘Mijzen- and Eilandspolder’ bird sanctuary, small real Dutch villages, such as De Rijp and many characteristic bed&breakfast accommodations.
