SlotermeerThe Slotermeer is a lake in the southwest of the province of Friesland . The lake is sometimes only 1.20 meters deep outside the navigation channels. On the eastern side next to the fairway, the water depth is approximately 1 meter. The lake is often a bottleneck in the route: it freezes over relatively late and both cloning and ice transfer are impossible. One must therefore wait until the ice has grown naturally.
