A must for history buffs with the Zuiderzee Museum, the fun Bottle Ships Museum, beautiful Enkhuizen and old Frisian villages such as Hoogkarspel!
Museums Enkhuizen
You drive to beautiful Enkhuizen with the Zuiderzee Museum, where you can experience the history of the Zuiderzee and the villages themselves in the open-air museum. Nearby is the Bottle Ships Museum, less known but very nice. It contains the world's most extensive collection of bottle ships, including those from early sailing and the VOC era.
Stolp farms
You cycle along the Oude Haven and then drive out of Enkhuizen via the Koepoort city gate, a detached monument from 1649. You cycle along the Markermeer to Hem and Venhuizen, two villages that have grown together where you can see ancient farmhouses. In Venhuizen you also pass the former town hall from the eighteenth century. You can also see Frisian farmhouses in the old villages of Hoogkarspel and Grootebroek. They betray that this region belonged to Frisian territory for a long time in the Middle Ages.
