Description
Around Enkhuizen you can make a wonderful bike ride. Enjoy the wide view over the IJsselmeer, explore the historical towns in this area and then cycle through the quiet polders that are so typical for this part of the Netherlands. This route takes you through the center of Enkhuizen and through Bovenkarspel.
Zuiderzee Museum
VVV Enkhuizen on the edge of Enkhuizen is the starting point of this route. From here you cycle through the centre of Enkhuizen and along the edge of the IJsselmeer. Along the way you will pass the Zuiderzee Museum. Here you can learn more about the time when the IJsselmeer was still the Zuiderzee. This sea was closed off in 1932 with the Afsluitdijk. You will also learn more about what daily life was like in the 1930s. Children can take part in a treasure hunt, walk on stilts or try out one of the other fun activities in the museum.
Barefoot Path
A bit further along the route you will come across the Barefoot Path near Het Streekbos. Put your bike down and take off your shoes to explore this path while walking. Along the way you will pass a windmill, a bird pond and a herb garden.
Historical sights
Other sights along the route are the Ceres mill and De Overhaal. The Ceres mill is a corn mill that was built in 1849 as a successor to a standard mill. In 1998, the mill was extensively restored. The Overhaal is an industrial monument that was used in the 17th century to transport barges from the polder to the Zuiderzee. In 1993, the boat lift was restored and since then the lift has been used for recreational boats and barges.
