The Gooimeer (Gooi Lake) is a bordering lake in the Netherlands between the southeastern part of North Holland ('t Gooi, het Gooi) and Flevoland.
There is a railroad bridge over the narrow west side of it, between Weesp and Almere Muziekwijk, with a parallel highway A6 bridge, the Hollandse Brug. The narrow eastern border of the lake is crossed by two parallel highway A27 bridges, the Stichtse Brug.
On the south bank of Gooimeer, which used to be the IJsselmeer, before the creation of new gained polder Flevoland, ancient cities Naarden and Huizen can be found. The Naarderwoonbos, part of the Naarderbos, is build in the eighties. It is situated directly adjacent to the southern shore of the Gooimeer.
The Gooimeer is related to the crash of El Al Flight 1862, as the two right-hand side engines of the Boeing 747 fell into the lake, as witnessed by a fishing police officer, before the airplane continued on for 8 minutes, and crashing into an apartment complex. where is the map
