Kolhorn

A three hour trip, including three locks took us the 10 miles to Kolhorn.

This small village was located on the shore of the Zuiderzee until 1844. Then a polder was 'built' in front of it, and in 1930 the Wieringermeer, an even bigger polder was established so the proximity to open water is now a distant memory. One street in the village has retained some charm, but otherwise there is not much here. A restaurant, no shops (well, maybe in the newer part).

Add to that that we only have a GPRS Internet connection which prevents us from showing you the one pretty street.

Alkmaar tomorrow, so more then!

Location:Wieringermeer,The Netherlands
