Head of Overijssel

In the Kop van Overijssel you will discover a lot of water. There are the Wieden. These two large lakes, together with the adjacent swamp, form the largest low peat area in northwest Europe. The nature is impressive. The area is very popular with water sports enthusiasts. The characteristic Zuiderzee towns of Blokzijl, Vollenhove and Zwartsluis were once located on the wild Zuiderzee. The memories of those days can be found in the'Amsterdam\\\' facades. In Giethoorn you can sail through the canals with a punt. It is not without reason that this beautiful water village is nicknamed the Venice of the North.
