Zeedijk - Uitdam (Netherlands)
Zeedijk (N518) 23/11/2021 13h10
Somewhere in between Marken, Volendam, Monnickendam and Amsterdam. Along the Gouwzee.
Gouwzee
The Gouwzee is the water between the mainland of Waterland and Marken, a former island, now a peninsula, which has been connected to the mainland since 1957 by means of a dam.
Next to Marken are the city of Monnickendam and the village of Volendam on the Gouwzee.
The Gouwzee is characterized by shallow and clear water. It is part of the Markermeer nature reserve. Nature conservation laws such as the Birds and Habitats Directives therefore apply to the Gouwzee. In late summer, large numbers of crowned ducks gather in the Gouwzee to prepare for the autumn migration.
The water is popular with water recreationists, such as sailors and surfers.
