The most special Zuiderzee towns to visit

For centuries the villages of Blokzijl, Kuinre and Vollenhove were situated on the Zuiderzee where they received a lot of income from fishing and / or as a trading city. But with the arrival of the Noordoostpolder, all of this changed dramatically. Those who visit these villages will notice that the age-old atmosphere has lingered in the villages.
