In Dutch, Schermer means “Clear Lake”, and is a beautiful rustic region in the north of Holland that up until 2015 was considered to be a separate municipality but is now part of Alkmaar Municipality. This serene area is what comes to mind when people think of Holland: Wooden bridges spanning over water canals, large windmills, thick vegetation, and tiny wooden homes. A visit to Schermer will feel a visit to a fairytale land.
12. Hoge Veluwe National Park, Gelderland
Hoge Veluwe Park is 21 square miles (55 SqKm), and is located in the Gelderland municipality, in eastern Holland. The park was established in 1909 as a private estate of a rich businessman and in 1935 he handed it over to a foundation to be managed is it became the second national park in Holland. The park was built on Holland’s largest terminal moraine (the edge of a glacier, marking its final advance). This made the area incredibly diversified, with a variety of natural views, unique vegetation, and an unusually large concentration of wildlife. In springtime, visitors can see deer, wild boars, mouflons (wild sheep), badgers, foxes, and more.
