Surroundings

The yurt is in our garden, on the edge of the village of Breezand (Hollands Kroon, Noord-Holland) along the Schorweg. Here is some more about our surroundings, activities and days out!
Location of the yurt
The yurt is in our backyard, hidden between bushes and trees for some privacy.

About 30 metres from the yurt is a sanitary area, especially for our bed & breakfast guests (including 2 x toilet, 1 x shower, 2 x washbasin). Around the yurt, several different (sweet) animals provide extra cosiness (such as chickens, turkeys and a little further two pigs!). If you visit us in August/September you can also pick fresh fruit from our fruit trees! (fig, pear, apple, plum)

Hiking & Biking
You can walk and cycle to your heart's content in the vicinity. Among others, beautiful beaches and dunes are 10 min. away by car or 30 min. by bike.

There are several beautiful areas for walking and cycling. From our yurt a round trip to the beach of Julianadorp and through the dunes is highly recommended. Along the way you pass many flower fields (in the spring season). Also worth mentioning for walking (or cycling); Donkere Duinen in Den Helder, Mariëndal in Den Helder, Schoorl Dunes, nature Kruiszwin in Anna Paulowna, Botgat in Groote Keeten and for example the Huisduinerpolder.

Days out
There are several nice trips to make. Both for young and old!

Close by there is for example Zoo Hoenderdaell. The Amstelmeer is a beautiful place for a day out with a.o. water sports. Nearby there is also the Robbenoordbos and Den Oever (a trip across the Wadden Sea is great!). Of course a day trip to Texel is an experience, but count on spending at least a day there. You can find pleasant terraces at the beautiful Rijkswerf Willemsoord in Den Helder. The West Frisian market in Schagen is also fun, a tourist in your own country!
