The Zeevang polder is a quiet, open peat meadow area with lots of water, located between Purmerend, Oosthuizen and Edam. The area is characterised by long strips of land, separated by narrow ditches, and includes ribbon villages such as Warder, Middelie and Kwadijk. Zeevang is a valuable nature reserve with unusual birds such as black-tailed godwits, lapwings and common terns. In and around Zeevang are elements of the Defence Line of Amsterdam, including the Fort North of Purmerend and the Fort near Edam. Edam, an attractive town on the IJsselmeer, offers picturesque views with old and modern ships along the quay, picturesque houses and streets.
