The railway line from Medemblik to Hoorn, opened in 1887, is unique because it has been preserved in its original state, complete with structures such as bridges and station buildings. Only a few stations have disappeared over time; of the ten in total, eight still exist.

Radboud Castle is located directly on the harbor of Medemblik and was built around 1288 by order of Floris V as a fortress to keep the region under control. Two wings, several towers and parts of the contours of the original castle are still visible, giving you a good idea of the medieval layout. An interesting stop during your walk, especially for those interested in the history of West Friesland and the role of castles in the landscape.

Molen De Herder in Medemblik, in the Kop van Noord-Holland, is a beautifully restored smock mill that still grinds grain and represents a unique piece of Dutch heritage.
