Harderwijk has much more to offer other than the dolphin-centre
Dolfinarium. Opposite the Dolfinarium is a small parking-lot, 2 invalid-parkings
and some places with a parking time limited to three hours. Walking upwards from the parking,
you arrive at a stop of a touristic-tour-train, which has a rather
high instep. Further upwards you’ll find this town-gate Vischpoort, walk through
and you will arrive at the attractive square Vischplein; it is mainly
cobbled, but worth while the visit. When on the square, you take the small street at the right hand side
and there, at number 14, is a small fisherman’s house, with the annex of the
District museum. Unfortunately you can only visit it by appointment and the
museum itself is not very suitable for the not so mobile. In the Doelenstraat you find a former Convent, which houses a cultural
training centre and now and an exhibition of the work of students. On the square behind, where you can park, you find the Chapel
Catharina Kapel, open during the afternoon of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. An attractive little church with beautiful windows and space for
exhibitions. Church Grote Kerk, Kerkplein: open from 15th of May to 15th of September
from Monday to Friday 13.30 – 16.30 hrs and on appointment. Dolfinarium, at the harbour: (roughly) open daily from 10.00 – 18.00
hrs, starting 27th of
October only on Saturday and Sunday. Touristic-tour-train: information at the VVV Dutch Tourist Office. |
