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. This Barefoot Trail is the longest in North Holland and offers an unforgettable experience in nature.

Enkhuizen

Enkhuizen (2.5) has an old city center surrounded by beautiful city walls, making you feel like you're going back in time. 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.

    We stayed here for a weekend with the RV. Check-in in the off-season is automatic with license plate recognition at the barrier. Super smart and it works perfectly. Super sweet dog who comes to say hello to you wagging his tail if you have a little walk in the beautiful forest behind. 20 years ago we have also been here with the caravan. It remains a nice place. So also in autumn. We will definitely come back here again. Besides being a nice campsite it is also close to family for us. There is currently a brand new toilet block being installed.

    We verbleven hier een weekendje met de camper. Het inchecken gaat buiten het seizoen automatisch met kentekenherkenning bij de slagboom. Superslim en het werkt perfect. Super lieve hond die je kwispelend gedag komt zeggen als je een stukje gewandeld hebt in het prachtige bos hierachter. 20 jaar geleden zijn we hier ook al eens geweest met de caravan. Het blijft een lekkere plek. Dus ook in de herfst. We komen hier zeker weer terug. Buiten dat het een mooie camping is ligt het voor ons ook vlak bij familie. Er wordt op dit moment een nieuw splinternieuw toiletgebouw geplaatst.

    Had an excellent week. There was work going on, but that was pointed out on the internet site. I found the plumbing a bit messy, taps with sensor or push button that were set very sparingly. Your arm was not yet soaked or the shower was already off. Plumbing is rebuilt, hopefully this is also improved .in some areas of the campsite you have a view of a huge shed.

    Een prima week gehad. Er waren werkzaamheden, maar daar was op geattendeerd op de internetsite. Het sanitair vond ik wat rommelig aandoen, kranen met sensor of drukknop die erg zuinig afgesteld stonden. Je arm was nog niet ingesopt of de douche was al uit. Sanitair wordt verbouwd, hopelijk wordt dit ook verbeterd .op sommige plekken van de camping heb je uitzicht op een enorme loods.
