Walk · 1 h 30 · A circuit of the star-shaped town along the top of its six bastions, between double moats, with the Renaissance town hall of 1601. Free.

From the air, Naarden looks like a snowflake: six star-shaped bastions surrounded by a double ring of ramparts and moats, a shape so clear that Allied bombers used it as a landmark. On the ground you appreciate it by walking along the top of the ramparts, between the water of the moats and the village rooftops, with the tower of the Grote Kerk always in view.
How to do it
Climb onto the rampart next to the Vestingmuseum and go round the bastions, about four and a half kilometres, flat and grassy. Come down into the centre along the Marktstraat to see the 1601 town hall, one of the best examples of Dutch Renaissance architecture, and the former orphanage, the Burgerweeshuis.
