    At the end of the Brugstraat (Bridge street) there already used to be a bridge in 1356.

    When the old bridge had to be replaced in the 16th century, there was a conflict with Amsterdam about the costs for a new bridge. Consequently, a ferry boat was used.

    From 1613 on there was a bridge again, which was removed in 1939 and taken to the Open Air Museum in Arnhem.

    Again, a ferry boat was used, until 1970.

    Since 1995 the ferry boat is used again on Sundays and holidays (12.30-17.00 h) from April-September. Costs: 50 cents for adults, 20 cents for children.

    On this website you find information about 3 historic walks through Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. The routes are about 2.5 km each and called Dorpsroute, Amstelzijderoute and Benningroute.

    Unfortunately the website is in Dutch, but the routes are marked well and you can print the maps.

    Booklets in Dutch with information about the sights are available at the famous bakery Out (Kerkstraat 1), the Historisch Museum (Kerkstraat 4-6) and bookstore Sprey (Dorpsstraat 5a).

  • Jewish cemetery Beth Haim - Ouderkerk aan de Amstel
    Jewish cemetery Beth Haim
    by Pijlmans, 1 more photos
    About 400 years ago, many Portuguese Jews came to Amsterdam, refugees from Spain and Portugal.

    In 1614, a piece of land was bought in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, that the Jews would use as a cemetery. It is the oldest Jewish cemetery in the Netherlands.

    More than 27,000 people have been buried here over the years. Many graves have sinked into the peat, but some of them are still visible.

    The cemetery is internationally famous for its many monumental gravestones. In the winter, the graves are covered to protect them.

    Beth Haim is closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. Men need to wear headgear.

    Beaches and birds at the
    Ouderkerkerplas
    by Pijlmans, 4 more photos
    The Ouderkerkerplas (The Lake of Ouderkerk) is a popular place for sunbathing and swimming, especially for families with children.

    It is also a good lake for windsurfing and diving. Or a walk around the lake!

    The Ouderkerkerplas is an important area for birds, that stay there during the winter when access to the lake is closed.

    The lake, south of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, is man-made and very deep (±45 m) because its sand was used for the construction of the highway A9.
