Journey through the idyllic Dutch countryside to Oudewater, a charming town steeped in history and folklore. As you meander along cobblestone streets, your guide will point out the city's highlights. Oudewater is famous for its 'Heksenwaag' or Witch's Weighing House. In the 16th century, people accused of witchcraft were brought here to be weighed. Because the scales were so accurate and fair, no one was ever found guilty of being a witch. Today, you can test your own innocence on the same scales, and explore the museum dedicated to this unique piece of history.
