Het Gooi Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Once the home of the duck hunter, now used to explain how the nearby duck decoy once worked - the English word originates from the Dutch word “eendenkooi”. 

Still has a few ducks left, the lucky kind. The decoy is now in the middle of nature reserve Naardermeer.

This little town was so picturesque that I was busy too busy soaking it up rather than taking more pictures.
A statue of Comenius next to his mausoleum and a small museum. There is a larger statue next to the church. Both are way too small to commemorate such a great educator.

We stayed in the island lodge. The lodge itself is very nice, only downpoint of the actual lodge is lack of storage space in the kitchen. My biggest complaints about this place were 1.

The rooms didn’t feel thoroughly checked or properly maintained, and cleanliness was inconsistent. I repeatedly ...
