The ferry between Schoonhoven and Gelkenes is a vital connection across the Lek River, dating back to 1429. Two modern ferries, the Stad Schoonhoven and the Zilverstad, operate regularly for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. The ferry operates frequently and is essential for traffic between Krimpenerwaard and Alblasserwaard.

Schoonhoven Town Hall dates from 1452 and was built in the late Gothic style, complete with a wooden bell tower. It has been preserved as a national monument since its restoration between 1927 and 1929 and houses an impressive carillon with 50 bells, many of which were cast by Van den Gheyn. The building still serves as a wedding venue and a municipal landmark.

The Veerpoort in Schoonhoven is a historic city gate dating from 1601, built as part of the city's defenses and flood defenses. It is the only remaining gate and features a distinctive Dutch Renaissance style. Today, the gate serves as a gallery and tourist attraction, offering views of the Lek River and a cozy brasserie nearby.

Super fun

The ferry service between Schoonhoven and Gelkenes has existed since at least 1429 and connects the Krimpenerwaard with the Alblasserwaard.

The square in the old village centre is a wonderful place for both cyclists and walkers to take a coffee break or enjoy a tasty lunch.

When walking through Schoonhoven this gate is almost a must. Nice to walk to the harbour and possibly the ferry this way.
