Andijk is securely hidden behind the broad back of the North Holland Peninsula. It is a typical West Frisian rural community, on the dike. Life here revolves around the water that the inhabitants have been passionately protecting against for centuries; at the same time they make clever use of it.
Enkhuizen

The small city of Enkhuizen is an old Dutch harbour town, and one of the most prominent ones of the Dutch Golden Age. It lost its trade position by the late 17th century, due to the wars with England, the silting of its waters and the rise of Amsterdam, but maintained much of its historic grandeur.
