Tour of Urk and Urkerbos

Urk is a lively and characteristic fishing village. A former island in the Zuiderzee. A picturesque village where that island feeling can still be experienced. Surprising views, cozy squares and characteristic facade signs: that is Urk. This walk through Urk starts at Restaurant De Kaap, where thousands of guests moor every year. Here you can enjoy the fresh fish delivered daily from the Urk fish auction on the terrace, not to mention the traditional collection of centuries-old costumes. In the summer you can also buy a delicious ice cream at Restaurant De Kaap. Once you have explored Urk and the 18.5 meter high Urk Lighthouse, take a short walk through the Urkerbos. The Urkerbos is characterized by a mixture of species-rich deciduous forest, coniferous forest and natural open spaces.
