Ringvaart: the special canal of Haarlemmermeer

A ring canal of at least 60 kilometers runs around the Haarlemmermeerpolder. A ring canal is a canal dug by man that runs around a polder. The excess water that is pumped out of the polder can be drained away. In 1845, for example, the Ringvaart was created in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. Nowadays the Ringvaart is a busy area. Both for boats that sail a round of the Ringvaart Haarlemmermeer and for day-trippers who come for a lovely walk or cycle through the beautiful landscape along the water.
