A day trip on the Frisian lakes

Stay at the Terherne port resort
If you are on holiday in Friesland and you are staying in the middle of the Frisian lakes, then of course you have to rent a sloop to go sailing. Last June we spent a week in beautiful and water-rich Friesland. To be precise in the village of Terherne. We stayed in a dyke house on the Terherne harbor resort of Roompot Vakanties . A unique home at the head of the harbor. We enjoyed all the boats passing by and the great view on all sides of the house. We will definitely go back here!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the dyke house is no longer available for rent, but fortunately they still have very nice harbor houses and apartments to rent.

Rent an electric sloop
During our week stay in Terherne we went looking for a rental company to rent an electric sloop. The advantage of such a whisper boat is that it is very quiet and, secondly, it does not cost extra diesel. In short, extra relaxing so if you sail on the rippling water. Since there are so many water around you to find many boat rental companies in the area, a nice boat was quickly found for a nice price. For a full day of sailing we paid € 100 at  De Broek boat rental , about a 15-minute drive from Terherne.

Sailing towards Woudsend and Heeg
As we said, we start our boat trip in the town of Broek, where the rental company is located. After we are first provided with some explanation and information about the sloop, our cruise on the Frisian Lakes begins. Via the larger lakes: the Langweerder Wielen and the Koevordermeer and then the narrower water the Welle, we arrive at the village of Woudsend. This town, with a protected townscape, lies between the Heegermeer and the Slotermeer and lies on the route of the Elfstedentocht. Woudsend has two mills, namely sawmill De Jager and flour mill 't Lam, and also several churches. The watersports site has approximately 1400 inhabitants.  silverton boats for sale

Enjoying the sunshine and your hair through the wind we sail further on the Heegermeer, after which you also immediately arrive in the village of Heeg with its pleasant terraces. This village in the municipality of Southwest Friesland also has a partially protected townscape and is known for eel fishing in particular. This used to be an important means of existence for a long time.
