Etersheim

Highlight • Settlement

Directly behind the monumental Markermeerdijk is an area where time seems to have stood still: the Etersheimerbraak. Years ago, this unique piece of Low Holland was created by a dike breach in which the old peat layer was removed with great force.

This special landscape tells how wind and water shaped the landscape and how the residents kept their feet dry. Here you will find, at 6.6 meters below N.A.P. the lowest point in North Holland.

In the Archaeological Mini Museum De Waterwolf you can learn more about the story of the drowned village of Etersheim, the battle against the Zuiderzee and the formation of the landscape. You are very welcome at the De Breek Visitor Center for a snack and a drink!

Moordenaarsbraak Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Moordenaarsbraak is the remains of one of the many dike breaches in North Holland caused by flooding of the Zuiderzee. Between Edam and Hoorn, the IJsselmeer dike owes its winding shape to the dike breaches, which the dike was then built around. The Moordenaarsbraak probably originated in the period between 1775 and 1849.[1] The Moordenaarsbraak is a more or less circular water area, which is bordered by a reed collar. The Moordenaarsbraak has been designated as a provincial monument because it is seen as a "defining element in the North Holland Polder landscape".[2] The name Moordenaarsbraak refers to the violence of the sea, which caused people in the area to be murdered.[3] The nature reserve is managed by Staatsbosbeheer. Just south of the Moordenaarsbraak are the Groote Braak and the Kleine Braak and just north of the Zandbraak and the Hogendijkerbraak, all located within a distance of approximately 5 kilometers along the IJs
