Where to go

Introducing Urk

Located in Flevoland, you'll find the former island of Urk. Situated close to the Noordoostpolder and connected to the IJsselmeer, Urk still maintains its traditional fishing culture.

In the harbor, enjoy tasty smoked eel or freshly fried fish at the terrace cafes. Visit the lighthouse, fishery museum, monuments and the IJsselmeer lake fish market. In the summer you can take an original fishing boat or ferry 'The Zuider Zee,' across the IJsselmeer lake to Enkhuizen.

Travel just outside Urk to find Schokland's national monuments and over 160 archeological sites that are included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
