Summary

This cruise and cycle holiday has been developed especially for families with children in the age range of 7 to 13. Both the cycle trips and the tour programme have been tailor-made for children. Therefore, some very interesting visits and activities are included.

Along the coastline of the IJssel Lake you’ll sail to the beautiful historic port town of Hoorn. Before crossing the former inland sea, ‘Zuiderzee’, to Lemmer in Friesland, there is a visit to an historic open air museum that depicts life in the former fisherman’s villages. Through lakes, waterways and canals you arrive in the heart of the Weerribben national reserve. In this unique area of marshland a very special canoe trip is planned. You paddle to Giethoorn, the Venice of the North. A roundtrip by ‘punter’ on the canals of this restored village is a must. In Hasselt you disembark and cycle to Elburg, a well-preserved fortified town. In Harderwijk you have a ‘day off’ with your family in and around town, where there are a number of things to do such as the dolphin shows in the Dolfinarium or a day at the beach at the Veluwe Lake.
