Schoonhoven Anchorage

Drop anchor here on the Lek river just off Schoonhoven, a well-preserved Dutch silver town known for its silversmithing heritage and a striking waterfront of historic buildings. The setting feels genuinely old-world, with the town's medieval harbour gate and silver museum within easy reach once you row ashore. It's a quieter alternative to busier inland waterway stops, and the Krimpenerwaard polder landscape stretching out around you adds to the sense of being somewhere a little off the beaten track.
