Roggebotsluis, Navigation lock between Drontermeer and Vossemeer, Netherlands.
Roggebotsluis is a lock connecting the Drontermeer and Vossemeer lakes in Flevoland, Netherlands. It manages water levels between the two bodies and allows both recreational and commercial vessels to pass through.
The lock was built following the 1958 land reclamation that created the new province of Flevoland. It became essential infrastructure to manage water levels and enable navigation between the newly formed lakes.
The lock reflects how water management has shaped Dutch life and engineering for generations. You can observe how people interact with these waterways daily through recreational boating and commercial traffic.
The site is easily accessible by car or bicycle with parking available for visitors. The best time to watch the lock operate is during good weather when boat traffic is active.
The nearby Roggebotzand forest was planted in 1958 on a former sandbank and includes the Wilhelminabos memorial forest with roughly 25,000 trees planted by cancer survivors. This woodland serves as a quiet monument to hope that many visitors overlook.
