The Ommelebommelesteen is a granite boulder in the IJsselmeer, about 30 meters off the coast of Urk. The stone plays an important role in the birth folklore of the former island. The name probably comes from 'bumblebee bombstone' or 'hummel bombstone', an anaphor for hummels, or children.

Urk Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Urk at the eastern banks of the IJsselmeer. From 1617 a coal fire was used for the local fishermen as well as for the ships sailing from Amsterdam to the North Sea. The current lighthouse station was established in 1837. The tower was built in 1845 as a round brick tower attached to a keeper's house. A Fresnel lens is still in use. The lighthouse was restored in 1972 and declared a national monument of the Netherlands in 1982. The tower can be visited during guided tours.
