Water and steam in the most colourful daytrip

The Ultimate Holland Experience by Steamtram and boat The engine whistles and the fireman puts coal onto the fire. Wooden partitions creak, wheels sing and steam hisses. This is the start of the most exciting journey through time in Holland. Get on board and relive an experience from a different area. In springtime the steamtrams will take you through the most colourful bulbfields in this ancient Dutch countryside. This Ultimate Holland Experience is easy to reach: it’s situated just north of Amsterdam.

Historic Triangle
In the Historic Triangle between the ancient ‘Zuiderzee’ towns of Hoorn and Medemblik steamtrams meander from village to village passing windmills and rich farmhouses on this typical, flat Dutch countryside. A connecting historic steamer sails along the coast of Lake IJsselmeer (the biggest fresh- water lake in Europe) to the old town of Enkhuizen and its famous open-air museum. You can also make this trip in the opposite direction, starting at Enkhuizen, or just take the steamtram or boat for a return trip.

The three ancient ‘Zuiderzee’ towns of Hoorn, Medemblik and Enkhuizen have nearly 2000 years of history to share between them. In April and May, the countryside between Hoorn and Medemblik changes into a colourful carpet covered with large numbers of red, yellow, white, purple and orange bulbfields, as part of the largest area of its kind in the country.

More information
Steamtram and boat depart daily from Hoorn and Enkhuizen at 11.00 a.m. starting April 13 to September 30, daily except Mondays.
