Scenic Sailing: Ijsselmeer

Enkhuizen by Foot

Scenic Greenspace, Historic City Gates and Church Explore the historic sights of Enkhuizen during an informative walking excursion. Enkhuizen is known as one of the most beautiful Dutch East India Company cities in the Netherlands and still exudes much of its Dutch Golden Age charm. Meet your guide, then set off on foot for your approximately 2-mile round-trip. Visit Snouck van Loosenpark, admiring this beautiful green space and learning its history as the site of the country’s first social housing project. Continue past the Dromedaris—a 16th-century gate and Enkhuizen’s most famous building—and stroll along the canal to the Zuiderkerk. A striking late Gothic hall-style church from the 15th century, its floor consists of old gravestones. Then, stop by the Westerstraat, once the main entrance to the city and part of the old fortifications, before returning on foot to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
