Eempolder

This peat meadow area is located along the river Eem and stretches on the east side from the Hoogland district of Amersfoort to the Eemmeer near Bunschoten. On the west side it is bordered by the railway line between Soest and Baarn and then north past Eemnes to the Eemmeer. The Eempolder consists of several small polders such as Middelwijk, De Haar, Zeldert, Bikkerspolder, Zuiderpolder te Veld, Noordpolder te Veld, Maatpolder and Noordpolder.De province of Utrecht is partly owner, the rest is owned by private individuals. The polder is below sea level. The management is done by the Vallei en Eem water board. This weighs the interests of agriculture, forestry, cities and industry against those of nature, cultural history, recreation and fisheries.
