The Barefoot Trail

Enjoy several wonderful hours in the fresh outdoors, surrounded by beautiful nature, where you can smell the fragrant flowers, admire the fruit (when available), and experience the thrill of the Barefoot Trail! During your trek you will encounter various challenges, such as balancing on tree trunks, braving wobbly bridges, crossing water via small bridges, wading through a reed bed, practicing yoga exercises, and much more. The nice thing is that you are not required to take on every obstacle; if you prefer to walk around them, that's totally fine. The total duration of the trail is about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Wander through narrow streets past those cute old houses and admire the gables that tell you about the glory years of the Golden Age. Visit the Zuiderzee Museum or take the whole family to Sprookjeswonderland. And for water lovers, the IJsselmeer has plenty of water sports activities. Learn to kite surf or take a boat out on the water. At the end of the day, enjoy a tasty fish or plop down at one of the outdoor cafes. In short, Enkhuizen is just a fun place where history, culture and nature go hand in hand for an unforgettable experience.

    Great campsite with the beautiful town of Enkhuizen 10 minutes by bike. We spent two nights here with our camper at the separate sanitary block. Which needs some renovation, like new toilet bowls. Clean it is, but that seems different when you look in the old pots. The state of the plumbing does not match the modern entrance with number recognition.

    Prima camping met het prachtige stadje Enkhuizen op 10 minuten fietsen. We stonden hier twee nachten met onze camper bij het losse sanitairblok. Die behoeft enige renovatie, zoals nieuwe toiletpotten. Schoon is het wel, maar dat lijkt anders als je in de oude potten kijkt. De staat van het sanitair is niet in overeenstemming met de moderne entree met nummerherkenning.

    Very quiet location against beautiful wooded area, spacious sites, several neat toilet blocks kept well clean, no tokens needed to shower, owner always helpful if you have a small chore, parking usually close to the caravan, we stayed there for two months, in short, highly recommended. πŸ•πŸŒπŸŒžβ˜•οΈ

    Zeer rustig gelegen tegen mooie bosrijke omgeving, ruime plekken, diverse nette toiletgebouwen die goed schoongehouden worden, geen muntjes nodig om te douchen, eigenaar altijd behulpzaam als je een klein klusje hebt, parkeren meestal vlak bij de caravan, wij hebben er twee maanden gestaan, kortom, een echte aanrader. πŸ•πŸŒπŸŒžβ˜•οΈ
