Egmondermeer, Polder and hamlet in Bergen, Netherlands

The Egmondermeer area encompasses 9.93 square kilometers of land between Egmond aan den Hoef and Alkmaar in Noord-Holland province.

Count Lamoraal van Egmond initiated the transformation of Egmondermeer from a shallow lake with small islands into agricultural land through drainage between 1564 and 1565.

The agricultural landscape features scattered farmhouses, where dairy operations evolved into mixed farming enterprises, shaping the local agricultural traditions.

A 12-kilometer walking route starts at Alkmaar Station, leading through Egmondermeer's landscape with food establishments available in Egmond aan den Hoef.

The area contains a geestmolen from the reclamation period and a monument marking the former tram service that operated from 1905 to 1934.
