In the North of Holland, by the sea, sits a picturesque old Hanseatic town
with lovely views, narrow streets, typical wooden bridges and characteristic facades. This is Hindeloopen,
a town with a character of its own. This shows also in its special way of life, the Hindeloopen art,
the colorful costume and its own language.
Because of this location, Hindeloopen is an ideal holiday resort. Take an invigorating walk along the seadike
and enjoy beautiful scenery. Along the seadike lie sandy beaches where you may enjoy sunning,
swimming, surfing and fishing in summertime. In the old harbor you will find inviting bars and
restaurants, from where you can watch the boats coming and going and the endless views across the lake.
In the old center you can get a feel for Hindeloopen's unique character by wandering through the narrow
streets and looking for the lovely views, the typical wooden bridges, characteristic facades.
In the Museum Hindeloopen you can become acqainted with the rich maritime history and living culture of
Hindeloopen, which manifests itself in the rich Hindeloopen art and in the fine old costumes. After
that, a visit to the famous shop of W.H. Glashouwer with the Hindeloopen art and the traditional
fabrics of the costume is definitely worth your while.
