Bergermeer, Polder in North Holland, Netherlands
The flat landscape of Bergermeer stretches across reclaimed land, featuring an intricate network of dikes and waterways that maintain water levels throughout the area.
The transformation of Bergermeer from a lake into a polder began in 1565, establishing it as one of the first land reclamation projects in North Holland.
Farmers in Bergermeer maintain traditional Dutch agricultural practices, focusing on horticulture and crop cultivation in the fertile soil of the reclaimed land.
Visitors can access Bergermeer through multiple entry points, including the Viaanse Molen, with parking facilities and a boat ramp available at Havinghastraat.
Beneath the polder lies Western Europe's largest natural gas storage facility, holding 4.1 million cubic meters of gas in penetrable rock under a salt layer.
