Omval
De Omval sits at a quiet rural junction east of Alkmaar, where the Noord-Hollandsch Kanaal meets the Omval-Kolhorn canal in the open flatlands of the Schermer polder. It's a genuinely historic spot — the area came under Alkmaar's authority after the Schermer was drained back in 1635, and an old ferry crossing once operated here. Drop anchor and you've got the classic Dutch polder landscape all around you, with Alkmaar itself just a short distance away.
