Get ready for an enchanting excursion to the delightful fishing hamlet of Urk! The village's iconic white lighthouse and quaint seaside church, the oldest structure in town, await the eager eyes of explorers. Pay respects at a poignant monument commemorating fishermen who embarked on journeys but never returned.
Next, it's off to Overijssel province, home to Giethoorn, the Venice of the North! This extraordinary hamlet is a labyrinth of waterways, bridges, and stunning farmhouses. "Picturesque" doesn't even begin to cover it. Visitors are spoilt for choice here; hop aboard a leisurely cruise, captain your own boat, or meander from bridge to bridge in this serene water village.
The grand finale comes in the form of Hattem, an 800-year-old town in the province of Gelderland, and one of the Netherlands' best-kept secrets. Marvel at magnificent monuments such as the "Dijkpoort", the town's ancient medieval entrance gate. Don't wait, book your ticket now and embark on a journey of discovery, charm, and beauty!
Start this tour with a visit to the fishing village of Urk. See the white lighthouse, the small church by the sea (the oldest building in the village), and the monument honoring fishermen who sailed but never returned.
After Urk, head to Overijssel province to visit Giethoorn, also known as the Venice of the North. This village features numerous waterways, bridges, and farmhouses. Spend some free time choosing from various activities: go on a cruise, rent a boat, or walk from bridge to bridge in this water village.
Hattem is the final stop today. This town in Gelderland is 800 years old. Visit its monuments, including the “Dijkpoort,” the old medieval entrance gate to the town.
