Jachthaven Bommen Berend

Jachthaven Bommen Berend is a quietly situated marina on the Oude IJssel, just outside the small town of Laag Keppel in the Achterhoek region.

It offers five visitor berths and 52 permanent moorings, and serves as a convenient base for exploring the navigable stretch of the Oude IJssel, which runs roughly 25 kilometres from Doesburg to Ulft.

Skiff rentals are also available for those without their own boat. A notable feature of the marina is a recently restored lock dating from 1895 — the last surviving example of a series of five locks built along the Oude IJssel from 1890 onward.

The marina's name traces back to Bernhard van Galen, Bishop of Münster, who captured nearby Kasteel Keppel in 1665 and earned the nickname "Bommen Berend" due to his frequent military campaigns.
