Westfriese Omringdijk from Bolletjescafé de Klok

Today you start at Bolletjescafé de Klok in Warmenhuizen. Your route takes you through a beautiful corner of West Friesland: Enkhuizen and surroundings. This area is enclosed by the West Frisian Omringdijk, the only monumental dike in the world. Here you drive through an agricultural landscape of sheep meadows and authentic bell-shaped farms. In some places, the fertile soil provides a rich palette of colors from spring to autumn thanks to bulb cultivation. Part of the tour you drive along the IJsselmeer. You see nice boats passing by and there are plenty of quiet spots to have a picnic on a bench or just look out over the water. Perhaps a three-master of the brown fleet is just passing by under full sail, a majestic sight.
