The former Schokland island, an archaeological monument. A place between land and sea, where people have lived for centuries, always in conflict with nature.

Giethoorn: Venice of the North. This ‘watery’ place lies in ‘De Weerribben – Wieden’ National Park in Overijssel. The many canals, bridges and lakes make this area the perfect place for a walk of a bike ride. You can also discover Giethoorn from the water.

Urk is a lively and typical fishing village. It used to be an island and is now a picturesque village. Cosy squares, characteristic details on the walls and many elegant decorations with anchors and ships. The small, monumental houses in a jumble of alleyways seem to lean on each other.

This old trade village has a harbour in its centre. Here, you can find lots of nice restaurants and cafés.
