Markermeer Lake,Netherland 4K Video

Описание: The Markermeer is a lake in the Netherlands, located between North Holland and Flevoland. On the northeastern side it borders the IJsselmeer, of which it actually forms the southwestern compartment, separated from it by a dike. The lake is triangular in shape, 700 km² in size, and is 2 to 4 meters deep in most places. The deepest parts of the Markermeer are the Pampusputten and the Amsterdam – Lelystad fairway. The Pampusput off the coast of Muiden is a former sand extraction pit (depth 30 m). The well has become shallower due to collapsing of the edges and sedimentation of silt. The current depth is 10 to 15 meters. Part of the lake is part of Nieuw Land National Park.

The Markermeer merges into the IJmeer on the south side. In the northwestern part is a round, bay-like inlet of the North Holland coast, the Hoornse Hop. This part can be roughly indicated with the triangle Schardam-Hoorn-Schellinkhout.

Hoorn is located on lake Markermeer, 35 km (22 mi) north of Amsterdam. It received city rights in 1357. The municipality consists of Blokker, Hoorn, Zwaag, parts of De Hulk and Bangert.

South America's most southerly point, Cape Horn, was named after this town by the Dutch navigator Willem Schouten (1567-1625), who rounded it in 1616. Hoorn Islands (Wallis and Futuna) are also named after the town.

The town name's origin is surrounded by myths. According to Old Frisian legends, Hoorn's name is derived from King Redbad's stepson Hornus. According to a 2nd version, the town's name was derived from the shape of horn of one of its first ports.

Established in 716, Hoorn port quickly grew to become an important harbor town. During the "Golden Century" (17th century's Dutch Golden Age), Hoorn was a major naval base for the Dutch East India Company and a prosperous trade center. The fleet of Hoorn plied the seven seas and returned with precious commodities.

The town is linked with Holland's railway network, having 2 train stations: Hoorn Kersenboogerd and Hoorn. It is also the starting point of the historical railway between Medemblik and Hoorn.
