Grootschermer is a village that feels as if time has stood still. It lies in the middle of the North Holland polder landscape, surrounded by meadows, ditches, and old dikes. What strikes me most is the peace and quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. The proximity of the De Eilandspolder nature reserve made it complete; ideal for a canoe trip or birdwatching. Grootschermer is small, but big in charm. A place where you can unwind and reconnect with the landscape and history of the Netherlands.
