Begin your adventure from the historic harbor in Volendam on a stylish E-chopper to explore several charming villages. Along the way, you’ll encounter a picturesque windmill, expansive meadows, numerous cows and sheep, and traverse the iconic Dutch dikes. At one point, you’ll cruise atop the dike, offering views of the lake, the ‘Gouwzee,’ where you can even take a dip! At another, you’ll ride meters below sea level alongside the dike, experiencing how the Dutch live behind these impressive structures.

From Volendam, you can either choose or receive recommendations on which villages to visit with your E-chopper. In just an hour, you can explore Edam, a town nearly 800 years old, located north of Volendam. Edam is renowned for its tranquil narrow alleys, quaint canals, charming house façades, and unique small boutiques. It’s also famous for its cheese market, where visitors can taste and purchase a variety of cheeses.

Another town, Monnickendam, can also be visited within an hour. Strolling or cruising through Monnickendam’s old center feels like stepping back in time. The streets are lined with beautiful houses made of light bronze bricks. The old harbor, with its lovely ships and inviting terraces, is a must-see. A highlight in Monnickendam is the beer brewery, where you can observe the brewing process, taste homemade sausages, and enjoy the delightful terrace by the water.

If you have more time, it’s highly recommended to tour from Volendam to Monnickendam and then to the former island of Marken. Marken is a breathtaking town with charming bridges over small canals and delightful wooden façades. Accessible only by a 10-kilometer-long dike, the town is surrounded by water, showcasing once again how the Dutch manage living below sea level. From Marken, you can take a boat back to Volendam. The express departs every 30 minutes from Marken to Volendam, and you can bring your E-chopper on board. After a 30-minute cruise, you’ll return to Volendam, where you can ride beneath the dike back to the rental company to return your E-chopper.
