The house is centrally located in the village of Hoorn, just behind the monumental church (13th century). Within 20 meters there is a large playing field, a playground and petting zoo within walking distance. Within 50 meters you can rent bicycles (www.terpstrarijwielverhuur.nl) and there is daily fresh bread, buns and other goodies available at the shop 'Ben van Alles'. At the end of the street begins the Hoornse Bos and nature reserve 'de Koegelwieck'. A beautiful area for lovely walks. You can walk or cycle through the forest to the North Sea beach (1.5 km).

 

In addition to the special nature, Hoorn also offers a lot of fun. There are many cozy restaurants and cafes. Hoorn is located in the middle of the island. From this centrally located place you can make beautiful nature walks or bike rides. It takes twenty minutes by bike to the European Nature Reserve 'De Boschplaat', while a beautiful cycling route through the dunes to West-Terschelling takes about an hour. The Hoornse beach is not accessible by car. You can park your car near the house in one of the parking lots. You can do your shopping at the supermarket in Lies (approx. 1 km) or Formerum (approx. 2 km).
