From the aqueduct near Harderwijk, you can already see Knarland. A green island in the Wolderwijd, with a sheltered harbor basin and an open central section that, due to the vegetated sandy expanse, almost gives a Wadden Sea feel.
About the island
The island owes its name to the Knardijk and to De Knar, an old sandbank that once lay here in the Zuiderzee. Today, Knarland is a green island in the Wolderwijd, with a sheltered harbor basin and an open central section that, due to the vegetated sandy expanse, almost evokes the Wadden Sea.
In strong winds, the cove offers protection against the waves, while in the middle you feel the space and the air. You will find shady spots between the trees, there is a small beach to go ashore, and in the evenings a fire is regularly burning in one of the fire pits. A reason for many visitors to return here regularly, according to managers Gerrit and Edwin.
