<name>IJburg to Lelystad | Markermeer Crossing</name>
<description>Make a long, straight crossing of the Markermeer from the Strand Blijburg side of IJburg toward Lelystad. The source map shows one 32.32 km leg; this approximate two-point line follows its visible markers and is not a GPS track. The 5 km ruler conflicts with the printed route distance, and a single location marker offers only a rough geographic control, so the endpoints may be displaced by kilometres. OpenStreetMap places the estimates near the IJburg shore and Lelystad&apos;s Suyderseeboulevard area, but neither point confirms a permitted launch, landing or safe water access. This exposed freshwater crossing can face strong winds, steep waves, poor visibility and busy recreational or commercial traffic. Check current local navigation rules, shore access, water levels, weather and wind independently. Not for navigation.
