Geocache Description:

Pretty difficult to reach cache. Water access required. The cache is located in the middle of the Westeinderplassen, near a private property called "Key West".

The Westeinderplassen ("West End Lakes") are a complex of lakes belonging mostly to the territory of Aalsmeer, the Netherlands. Their total area is circa 10 km2, making it the largest freshwater body of water in the "Randstad" area.

Towns situated on the lakefront include Aalsmeer, Kudelstaart, Leimuiden, and Rijsenhout. The northern part in particular contains hundreds of small islands. Many of these are privately owned and can only be reached by boat. The northwestern part of the lakes connect directly to the Ringvaart, which sees significant commercial shipping. The bulk of the lakes, though, are used mostly for recreational boating.

The Westeinderplassen is created by the digging of peat for peat extraction. In earlier centuries Aalsmeer was surrounded by the East Inder Poel, Schinkel Poel, Dry Lake, Horn Lake, Legmeer and Haarlemmermeer. Accept for the Haarlemmermeer all those lakes were created by excavation.

The little hide port and land bridge where this cache is located is man created in the middle of last century. The cache is a simple plastic box with a couple of logging sheets. Occasionally one may find a travel bug or other items inside the cache.
