One of the topsights of the country! Water, mills, wooden houses. This is where the past comes alive. Explore the area by walking, cycling or from the water. You can also visit the (inside of) the windmills and museums. Or just laze around and enjoy the wonderful view.
Afsluitdijk
This water barrier is the most impressive example of Dutch water management. The construction of the 32 kilometers long dyke started a hundred years ago. It connects the provinces of Noord Holland and Friesland. We stop at the watchtower for a splendid view upon the construction with the ‘wadden sea’ at one side and the ‘IJsselmeer lake’ on the other.
