Kolhorn is a picturesque, historic village that was once a fishing port on the former Zuiderzee and is now situated amidst the West Frisian polder landscape. The village is known for its carefully restored houses, a protected village view, and lively summer activities such as night markets and boat tours.
Historic character and village atmosphere
Kolhorn developed centuries ago as a port town on the Zuiderzee and has largely managed to retain its original fishing character, despite the fact that the village is now situated inland due to the reclamation of the surrounding areas. The historic buildings and houses, many of which are part of the protected village landscape, give a charming impression of the past and form the heart of the village.
Culture, activities and recreation
In the summer, visitors can enjoy atmospheric events such as the illuminated night markets and a relaxing sailing trip on the Kolhornerdiep in traditional boats. Furthermore, there are fun outings such as the Museum de Turfschuur, boat tours with the KH44, and viewpoints along the dike offering a beautiful view of the open polder landscape.
