Enkhuizen is a lovely little town and well worth the trip, and even if the off leash zones are limited there is simply something quaint and cosy about this town. Situated just at the end of the inner dyke that spans the IJsselmeer/Markenmeer, it’s a convenient place to make a break if you are travelling to or from Germany.
It is a fairly small town with some gorgeous old and historic buildings, excellent pedestrian shopping streets with boutique shops and some lovely little cafes, an enormous yacht harbour, a grassy dyke to walk along and a small park just off the waterfront that allows dogs to stretch their legs. Spend at least a couple of hours if you are only passing through, or make a full day trip out of it.
The park that we usually visit for a little leg stretching is just off the Immerhornweg, between the Oosterdijk and the see. There are a range of parking spaces in or around Enkhuizen and the town is small enough for you to walk through town to the park and enjoy the town on the way.
Pros:
- Interesting and historic town with many dog friendly cafes
- Small and with many green spots for sniffing
- Clean water to drink and swim in
Cons:
- Not a huge off leash area but nice enough for a little leg stretch
