Sailing around Aalsmeer

Aalsmeer, besides the flower auction at the Legmeerdijk, is also known for its opportunities on the water. For instance, the city borders the Westeinderplassen, where many water sports are practised. The area also has numerous marinas. Apart from the commercial and recreational aspects of the area, it is also a valuable nature reserve, characterised by its striking reeds and marsh trees. The Westeinderplassen contains many (small) islands, which are not only available for habitation and recreation, but also provide shelter to many water birds. It's also worth admiring Aalsmeer's water tower from the water; this tower is a National Monument.
