The railway line from Medemblik to Hoorn, opened in 1887, is unique because it has been preserved in its original state, complete with structures such as bridges and station buildings. Only a few stations have disappeared over time; of the ten in total, eight still exist.

Remaining part of the city fortifications

Radboud Castle is located directly on the harbor of Medemblik and was built around 1288 by order of Floris V as a fortress to keep the region under control. Two wings, several towers and parts of the contours of the original castle are still visible, giving you a good idea of the medieval layout. An interesting stop during your walk, especially for those interested in the history of West Friesland and the role of castles in the landscape.

Prospect

Molen De Herder in Medemblik, in the Kop van Noord-Holland, is a beautifully restored smock mill that still grinds grain and represents a unique piece of Dutch heritage.

Lovely relaxing ride along the dike to Enkhuizen

Built in 1649. There are two stories circulating, why the passage of this gate has a bend. I find both of them not very plausible. It would be useful for collecting tolls, because carts are slowed down by the bend. And it would make it impossible to shoot through the gate with a cannon. For both purposes, the bend is too small.
