Travel from Amsterdam to the charming fishing village of Urk. This used to be an island, before the manmade province of Flevoland was created. Walk to the characteristic white lighthouse, the small church by the sea and the monument that honors the fishermen who sailed out but never came home again.
Next, reach Giethoorn, commonly called the 'Venice of the North'. This unique village consists of numerous waterways, bridges and farmhouses. Here you can choose from a range of things to do: go on a cruise, rent your own boat or just walk from bridge to bridge in this picturesque water village.
Your final destination of the day is Hattem. Located in the province of Gelderland it is one of the country’s best-kept secrets! Hattem is 800 years old and has a history that is still clearly visible today. The best example of this is the medieval entrance gate to the town.
And what’s a tour in the Netherlands without a visit to a windmill? Luckily Hattem has the Fortuin, a still working corn mill for you to see.
