Kolhorn and the Turf Museum together form a charming dive into the past of North Holland. This former Zuiderzee village is picturesquely situated on an old West Frisian sea dike, with narrow streets, characteristic farmhouses and a nostalgic atmosphere. In the Turf Museum you can discover how the village once thrived on the peat trade, with authentic tools and stories from the time when peat was still being extracted.
