TOURIST INFO
Sport &
Activities - Water Sports in Amsterdam:
Holland has
loads of water, and watersports are accordingly very popular: sailboards
are normal holiday luggage for the Dutch. If you want to go sailing,
visit Loosdrecht (25km/15 miles south-east of Amsterdam) or go to
the IJsselmeer. Catamarans can be rented in Muiden (20km/12 miles
east of Amsterdam). For details on canoeing, phone the NKB on 033
462 2341. Most watersports schools ask for a deposit and ID when
you rent a boat.
