Brielse meer

Brielse Meer is a recreational lake in South Holland surrounded by meadows, marinas, beaches, and campgrounds along its shoreline. The water body stretches about 10 kilometers across the landscape and provides multiple entry points for various activities.

The water body formed from the former shipping route Brielse Maas and was transformed into a recreational lake after dams were built in the 1950s. This change made it a popular destination for the surrounding region.

The lake sits at the heart of local life, with water sports and waterside relaxation woven into how residents and visitors spend their time. Families gather at the beaches and marinas that line the shore throughout the year.

The lake is suitable for swimming, diving, sailing, and fishing, with boat rental options available. Paths circle the water for cyclists and walkers to explore the area at their own pace.

The lake covers about 400 hectares within a larger 800-hectare recreational zone that includes designated naturist areas alongside traditional beaches. This setup allows different visitor groups to enjoy the space without conflict.
