Recreation
in the neighborhood
Zonneweelde is situated in an
unique part of Holland along the IJsselmeer. Oosthuizen is located
between Edam/Volemdam, Purmerend and Hoorn. The cities and villages
in the area have got a rich social history. This you can find
again in buildings and museums. All this information you can
get from our extensive folder.
Recreation possibilities, like
walking and cycling, are numerous because of the polders with
their reed and water-courses, where you can find particular vegetation.
But the pastures surrounding Oosthuizen are also worth while,
with exclusive species of birds.
Next to this there are many water-courses
like ditches, channels and canals that are suited for aquatics.
Naturally you can recreate in or along the IJsselmeer, such as
swimming, canoeing, surfing, kiting, fishing and other activities
thinkable.
