Sailing Enkhuizen
The fishing town Enkhuizen, a.k.a. Haringstad (Herring town), lies at the border between the Markermeer and the IJsselmeer. Enkhuizen grew to great prosperity in the mid-17th century, and has had city rights since 1335. It has many wonderful attractions, like the partly open-air Zuiderzee Museum, and is a must-see for sailing enthusiasts and history buffs.
Sailing Enkhuizen is the perfect getaway! When entering the port you cannot miss the Dromedaris (dromedary) tower; this historical city gate was once a defence fortification and boasts an extraordinary carillon. The historical centre also contains two 15th century churches, a 17th century town hall and the largely intact city walls.
