Our first stop will be charming Urk, where village streets seem frozen in time and you can still hear the local dialect. The most important monuments and the lighthouse are on the beautiful harbor. We’ll then head to Schokland, once an island in the former Zuiderzee. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a symbol of Dutch resilience in their battle with water. The site is full of wonderful scenery and inspirational tales. Over 160 archaeological sites include churches, homes, businesses, barns, and a former harbor. Human footprints dating back over 4,000 years were unearthed in the area.
