Hooft, Desert island in Gooise Meren, Netherlands
The artificial island Hooft rises from Lake IJmeer with sandy beaches and natural vegetation covering its surface, creating a habitat for local wildlife.
The island emerged as part of the Zuiderzee works, serving as a testing ground for different water barrier methods against the North Sea waters.
Local authorities implemented strict regulations on Hooft island to preserve its natural state and protect it from excessive recreational activities.
Visitors can reach Hooft island by boat, but overnight stays are prohibited, and all visitors must follow leave-no-trace principles.
The island experiences continuous transformation due to water erosion, requiring regular maintenance to maintain its structural integrity and ecological balance.
