Northwest Overijssel (Weerribben-Wieden) marinas

The Kop van Overijssel is the waterland of the Weerribben-Wieden National Park: Giethoorn, the Wieden lakes and the canals and ditches between Steenwijk, Ossenzijl and Blokzijl.

The Belterwijde and the Beulakerwijde are the big lakes, surrounded by a web of canals, ditches and channels through the reeds: shallow and with low bridges, water for sloops, whisper boats and small motorboats, while a larger yacht keeps to the through canals. The Beukers-Steenwijk canal and the Meppelerdiep are the through routes; by the Zwarte Water and the Zwarte Meer you reach the Ketelmeer, the IJssel and the IJsselmeer, and northward through Ossenzijl, Friesland.

Giethoorn draws many day visitors in summer and is at its best in the morning and evening; Blokzijl and Vollenhove were Zuiderzee harbours with an old basin, Hasselt and Zwartsluis lie on the Zwarte Water, Meppel on the Meppelerdiep and Kampen on the IJssel and the Ganzendiep. This is the area for a boating holiday in nature, for families with a sloop or a small motorboat, and for anyone wanting a few quiet days away from the IJsselmeer.
