The fortified town of Steenwijk and the former towns of the Zuiderzee, Vollenhove and Blokzijl invite you to take an inspiring city walk. You can eat and drink in one of the many restaurants and cafes. Markets, fairs, parades with floats, flower parades, gondola rides and fleet days complete your visit.

The ‘Kop van Overijssel’ is best known for Giethoorn (Venice of the North) and Weerribben Wieden National Park. Two pearls where you must have been; but there is much more! Dozens of villages and centers in Steenwijkerland where you can enjoy and have fun. Sometimes it is so quiet that it feels you are all by yourselves. Trips to Friesland, Drenthe and Flevoland are also easy to do starting in the ‘Kop van Overijssel’. There are activities for when the weather is less, there is nature, sports, culture, tea houses, watchtowers and boat trips. And animals. Lots of animals! For kids, families, singles, shoppers, superstars. For stays of an hour, half a day, a day, a weekend or longer. In short; something for everyone, 365 days a year!
