History of the Alkmaardermeer
The Alkmaardermeer is originally, like most of Holland, a peat bog area. In the Middle Ages the peat was reclaimed as an agricultural area. Ditches were dug to drain the excess water to the peat river that flowed through the area. Dehydration was the cause that the peat in the long run increasingly collapsed. During storms and high tides, whole areas of land along the river could be washed away, thus creating more and more open water. This reached a peak during the All Saints Flood of 1170. Due to the consequences of this flood, the Alkmaardermeer, just like many other lakes in North Holland, largely acquired its final shape.
Along the length of the current Alkmaardermeer there was a river that connected the Oer-ij with the Schermer. A river that connected to it was the Stierop which flowed to the Starnmeer.
It is very likely that people lived along the river from which the Alkmaardermeer originated. However, nothing can be found of these settlements. There are a number of islands in the lake that are remnants of the land that used to be there. Examples are the “Saskerlij”, the “Nes” and the “Dijker Hemme”.
Over the centuries the part of the Oer-ij that flowed into the Alkmaardermeer gradually silted up and in the 17th century the Schermer was drained.
In addition to recreation, the Alkmaardermeer is used throughout the year as a sailing route for ships sailing from the Zaanstreek to the Noordhollandsch Kanaal in order to reach Alkmaar or Den Helder, for example.
