Wandelnetwerk Noord-Holland

The Kagermeer Route (green) from TOP Buitenkaag leads through the now dry Kagermeer. You’ll search for this lake in vain on the water map of the Kagerplassen because you are in the middle of it. Before the reclamation, it was the lake between Lisserbroek and the islands of Abbenes and De Kaag. On the route you will pass the church built in the style of the Amsterdam School, the Leeghwater pumping station and the view of the Diepenpoel, the Hoofdvaart and the Ringvaart. About halfway, you walk on the edge of groves along the Kagertocht. The Huigsloot, a wide gully of water between the islands of Abbenes and Huigslootpolder, used to run here. There is a bench. Wander back in time and gaze across the water to the church tower on Kagereiland.
