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 to the old town of Enkhuizen and its famous open-air museum. In April and May, the countryside between Hoorn and Medemblik changes into a colourful carpet covered with large numbers, yellow, white, purple and orange bulbfields.
