Small, but therefore a harbor with flair. Is very good for a short rest.

West Frisian Circular Dike

Highlight • Cycleway

During the Middle Ages in North Holland, storm surges caused a lot of peat to disappear into the waves. Lakes were created, the land crumbled and Westflinge, today's West Friesland, was surrounded by water.

May 18, 2025,Fietspad over de dijk - rondtocht vanuit Hoorn
Beautiful tour from beautiful Hoorn.
First a stretch along the Markermeer, nice to watch boats ⛵️
In Enkhuizen enough nice places for a break, we got off there for our lunch, to then continue cycling full of energy, now along the IJsselmeer, also very beautiful with the many sheep and lambs along the dike 😍
Then along all kinds of …

Today we took the dike again. Cold start, the ice was still on the flat roof behind the house. But in the dim sun it will quickly melt away.
In Andijk I was surprised about the 'policy' of applying road markings. On the new asphalt, first in the middle, then mill it, then divide the road into three equal lanes, …

After I drove the Westfriese Omringdijk (west side) from Midwoud last week, today I finished the remainder. To Medemblik, past the Radboud castle (I am surprised that there is no highlight of this yet), past the steam engine museum. Along Wervershoof and against a stiff breeze to Andijk and Oosterdijk. Lighthouse de Ven still under construction. In the meantime the …

First a walk with the dog in the mist.
Soon the mist was gone and a nice sunny walk on the dike could begin. Over the water the wind was still fresh, but yes, not so strange because it was still a few degrees below zero early this morning.

August 25, 2025,Rondje over de dijk
Today I walked along the dike. There are quite a few protest signs on the Zuiderdijk. They're against – yet another – large and hideous solar park that will undoubtedly generate a lot of revenue, but will cause even more damage to the landscape.
I still don't understand why a border of evergreen shrubs isn't required around this park when …
