Uitgeest

Tucked between Alkmaardermeer lake and the polders of North Holland, Uitgeest is a place whose character is shaped by water and the open Dutch lowlands. The village lies within a network of dikes, drainage channels and reclaimed land, where the flat horizon is integral to everyday life. Alkmaardermeer, immediately east of Uitgeest, is a well-known area for sailing and other watersports, especially in the warmer months. In the centre, the historic Protestant church recalls Uitgeest’s long-established rural community, while rail links connect it with Amsterdam, Alkmaar and the wider province.
