The Dolfinarium in Harderwijk

The Dolfinarium in Harderwijk is the largest marine mammal park in Europe. It is also the only place in the Netherlands where you can see dolphins, walruses and Steller sea lions in the flesh. But it is mainly about the shows and performances in the Dolfinarium. It is not without reason that the dolphin show Aqua Bella was chosen as the best show in the world in 2013.

What can you do in Harderwijk?

The centuries-old city centre of Harderwijk, with around a hundred national monuments, was declared a protected cityscape in 1969. There is plenty to see! Walking through the city you will pass the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk; a three-aisled basilica from the 14th and 15th centuries. Be sure to go inside to look at the special 16th century paintings!

The medieval city walls are also definitely worth a walk. Here you will find the Vischpoort, the Smeepoort and about two kilometres of wall fragments. If you then continue towards the Markt, you can visit the former town hall that was built in the Middle Ages and then rebuilt in 1837 in neoclassical style.

If you have seen enough history, you can also enjoy shopping in Harderwijk. In cosy streets such as Donkerstraat, Hondegatstraat, Luttekepoortstraat and Smeepoortstraat you will find plenty of nice shops and the weekly market on the Kloosterplein is also pleasant every Saturday (9:00 to 13:00).

The Veluwemeer (canoeing, surfing, swimming, beach)

The municipality of Dronten has approximately 60 km of beaches and forelands along the Veluwe and Drontermeer. The Veluwemeer is particularly popular with water sports enthusiasts because of its many facilities. There is a separate track where water skiing and speedboats are allowed. The lakes are very suitable for canoeing, surfing and sailing, but also offer space for touring with open or small cabin boats and fishing. The beaches are public and always accessible.

Parking on the Ellertstrand Noord and Zuid and the Bosbergstrand is free.

Dogs are only welcome on the northern part of the Abbertstrand. They are also allowed to swim here.
