Nice place and nice, short walking route.

A beautiful 'stone house' in a beautiful setting where you can walk on 'the Path'. During the Momumentendag we ate delicious fresh pancakes and a nice waffle with warm cherries. The museum shows a square with shops and crafts from days gone by. The miniature shops above are worth a visit alone. At the back of the garden is a beautiful large red beech.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
