In Dutch, the name Midwoud gives the impression that this village lies hidden deep within a dark forest, but nothing is further from the truth. As you enter the rural surroundings of Midwoud you will see fresh green meadowland as far as the eye can see. The friendliness of the villagers is immediately noticeable. Feel free to acknowledge them - they will all greet you back.
With the VOC cities of Medemblik, Hoorn and even Enkhuizen within cycling distance, this village is an excellent starting point for a trip from the countryside to the historical city centres. Cycling with the wind in your back from the stillness to the hustle and bustle of these cities to enjoy a day of unadulterated culture. When you return, warm and satisfied, the outdoor swimming pool awaits for a refreshing dip.
Tip! During the Whitsun weekend, Midwoud is filled by a stream of visitors to the Garden Fair. Hundreds of interior design, outdoor living, art, cooking, music and leisure stalls can be found on De Knap estate.
