Mighty beautiful West Friesland

The area enclosed by the West Frisian Omringdijk, the only monumental dike in the world, has an agricultural character and long ribbon villages. A wonderful environment for cycling. In the ever-changing landscape you can enjoy tulip fields, sheep meadows, windmills, birds and authentic bell-shaped farms. On top of the dike, along the IJsselmeer, a view is offered as far as the horizon. Admire the water sports enthusiasts on their sailing yachts, their surfboards or kiteboards. There is a good chance that at that exact moment a three-master of the brown fleet will make the crossing under full sail, a majestic sight. VVV Enkhuizen and surrounding areas has detailed environmental maps in its range. Embrace the adventure and take a side road. Discover the many hidden private mini museums and shops. Several farms have a sales stall on the road. Enjoy the lovingly grown regional products, fresh from the land! The extensive network of nodes ensures that you don't get lost. Westfriesland is a great base for a multi-day trip. A luxurious hotel stay in the city, a cozy room at a private Bed & Breakfast or a cute house along the dike, a warm welcome awaits you everywhere. Come, taste, discover, sleep, enjoy the calm, unique West Frisian atmosphere. Westfriesland, a unique part of North Holland.
