The Vest is a well-preserved part of the old fortifications on the west side of Enkhuizen, with wide ramparts, bastions and a view of open shooting fields. You walk along grassy paths and historical structures from the late 16th century, including the still existing Koepoort and water gates such as the Boerenboom.
