The ferryman has retired (for the season)

View on Veere

Usually it only takes a few minutes to get from Kamperland to Veere, on the other side of the Veerse Meer. Alas, ferry season is over and done with for the year, and so we have to drive around the lagoon in order to visit the charming historic village Veere. Once a prosperous trading port during the 16th and 17th century, especially known for its ties with Scotland, Veere today is a tourist destination due to its medieval charm with cobbled streets, and well-preserved architecture. The town’s highlights include the Grote Kerk (great church), the town hall, and its scenic waterfront lined with old warehouses and cafes.

A short hike takes one along all sights to see in Veere, and includes a cable pull ferry (or whatever the technical term is for this, in German it is called: Handseilzugfähre.)

The cinnamon buns are delicious!
