Walk · 1 h · Verdronkenoord, Luttik Oudorp and the wooden house with a cannonball from the Spanish siege. Free; starts from the Waagplein.

From the Waagplein, follow the Verdronkenoord canal, with the old fish market and terraces over the water, and return along the Luttik Oudorp, the most photographed canal in the city. On the way look for the Huis met de Kogel, the house with the cannonball: one of the last two wooden houses in Alkmaar, which still has embedded in it the cannonball that went through it when the Spanish tried to take the city.
How to do it
It is free and fits into an hour. Combine it with the boat, which leaves from the Mient, in the same spot.
