In the shadow of historic churches and amongst the characteristic thatched farmhouses, you can feel the age-old connection to the land and the water. Each village tells its own story, from the historic ribbon development in De Goorn and Avenhorn to the tranquil beauty of the villages along the West Frisian Omringdijk. In Koggenland, the past is not only visible in the monuments, but also palpable in the vast polders that have been cultivated with care for generations.
