From here you can walk into the center of the town. The fortified city still has a rectangular street plan that dates from the Middle Ages. In the center you will pass one historic building after another. The city is surrounded by beautiful ramparts and parts of the city wall. Also nice is the National Historical Organ Museum, located in a medieval city castle. Then you walk outside for a bit to explore the canal that surrounds Elburg.

At Rederij Randmeer in Elburg you have come to the right place if you want to take a boat trip on the Veluwemeer or the IJsselmeer. In the months of July and August, boat trips from the fishing port in Elburg take place every day from 12 noon. A cruise takes 50 minutes. In the other months it is best to inquire in advance when cruises are taking place, so that you are not on the quay for nothing. A boat trip is the ideal break from a cycling tour. Get on the boat and sit with your feet up to rest for a while. Along the way you enjoy the ever-changing environment and the soothing water around you. Drink a cup of coffee and recharge yourself for the second part of your bike tour. On set dates, a salon boat departs from Elburg to Urk via various peripheral lakes and the IJsselmeer.

Casa Piccola is a household name in Elburg and the surrounding area. Not infrequently there is a long line of people in front of the small ice cream parlor, which has been located in the fortress of Elburg for more than 40 years. They regularly appear in the media in the TOP10 lists of the best ice cream parlors in the Netherlands. Ice cream is made from natural ingredients of the best quality. Milk from Elburg cows, fruit from local growers and spices from the historic herb garden. All day long there are pans on the stove and it smells wonderfully of vanilla, nuts or herbs. No flavor pastes or other prefab aids are used in this ice cream parlor, which makes them unique. Ingredients such as mascarpone and limoncello are simply made in our own kitchen, so that freshness and quality are always guaranteed. A visit to this ice cream parlor should not be missed if you are cycling or walking through Elburg. You will find them in the fortress right next to the Vischpoort or at the harbor in the historic tea house next to Restaurant De Herberg. Check the website for current opening times.
