KΓΆniglich Blau und Vermeer
This very beautiful little town has a lot to offer, whether with the Prinsenhof, the art museum known beyond the country's borders, the Vermeer Center, which is well worth seeing and dedicated to the artist of the same name, or the many city tours, such as the ceramics route, which can be walked or cycled thematically along the production line lead by Delft Blue. The canals with their floating terraces invite you to refreshments and culinary adventures, the kitchen in South Holland is fresh and cheeky.

Camping Vlietland

Alte Meister, alte UniversitΓ€t
The birthplace of Rembrandt houses the art museum, a collection of old masters and the university, which is also the oldest in the country, where the current king, Willem-Alexander, once studied. The best way to explore Leiden is with a canal cruise.

Day 6
Camping 't Oppertje
Uilenweg 11, 8245 AB, Lelystad, Netherlands
Advertising rarely keeps what it promises: "Experience peace, nature and your own adventure in the National Park 'Nieuw Land' - an insider tip in the Netherlands" pretty much hits the nail on the head. This campsite is criss-crossed by a small canal, which ducks swim past, occasionally greeting guests on a shore leave. This break should have lasted weeks for us...

Ostindien am Markermeer
A visit to idyllic Hoorn on the Markermeer with its historic harbor and sailing ships should be a must. This small town invites you to linger for a few hours. Historically, Hoorn was once a very important international port, so the East India Company had one of their headquarters here in the 17th century. The architecture, which is still rich today, also suggests this.

Day 7
Fahrt ΓΌber den Abschlussdeich und entlang des IJsselmeers
The Afsluitdijk separates Holland from Friesland and was the most important land reclamation structure of the 20th century. This could already be completed in 1932. This created the largest inland body of water in the Netherlands, the IJsselmeer. On our drive we can make a photo stop in the middle.

Ostindien am Markermeer
Ein Besuch im idyllischen Hoorn am Markermeer mit seinem historischen Hafen und Segelschiffen sollte zum Pflichtprogramm gehâren. Dieses kleine StÀdtchen lÀdt für ein paar Stunden zum Verweilen ein. Historisch war Hoorn einst ein internationaler sehr bedeutender Hafen, so hatte die Ostindien-Kompanie hier im 17. Jahrhundert einen ihrer Sitze. Die noch heute reichhaltige Architektur lÀsst ebenfalls hierauf schließen.
