Strand Horst
Strand Horst
Strand Horst is a beach and water-sports access point on the Wolderwijd lake, near Ermelo in Gelderland.
It is one of the Netherlands' most popular kitesurfing destinations, welcoming riders of all skill levels to its expansive shallow waters, which range from flat to slightly choppy — well suited to beginners, freeriders, and freestylers.
The site sits at the WSC Strand Horst facility on the south shore, where the designated kiting area is located.
Prevailing winds run southwest to northwest, with WNW considered the best direction; wind conditions on the Wolderwijd tend to be steady and consistent thanks to the lake's generous size.
The spot is reachable by car via the A28 motorway, exiting at Strand Horst.
