The inhabitants of Nibbixwoud love their village and affectionately refer to it as ‘Nibbik’. That is understandable, as it has a very beautiful location. Between the VOC city of Hoorn and the green meadows, here and there you will find a farmhouse flanked by orchards full of fruit trees.
In bygone days, people made their living here from fishing on the Zuiderzee but nowadays it is a real farming village where fruit growing is an important source of income. As a logical consequence, the colours here are magnificent in the springtime. So pump up your bike tyres and enjoy a ride beside the blossoming fruit trees. A joy to behold!
