Lauwerspleats
Characteristic head-neckhull farm with rowing boat
Description
On the river Lauwers and close to the 'Green Coastal Route' lies the Lauwerspleats. This characteristic head-neck-torso farmhouse with thatched barn was built by monks of the nearby Girkesklooster in the year 1651. Because the Lauwers used to be in open connection with the sea, the farmhouse is located on its own mound.
The house is poorly accessible for disabled guests. Swimming enthusiasts can splash around behind the farmhouse and swim in the river both in winter and summer.
For guests of the lodging is a rowing boat with motor ready to make trips to the Lauwersmeer. For cycling enthusiasts we have a men's and a women's touring bike available and a very special 'Danske Post' transport bike, with space for an original English picnic basket.
The Lauwers area; the 'Camarque of the North'. The reclamation of the former Lauwerszee created a unique nature reserve containing large and small lakes, creeks, beaches and forests. From the water, but also from the hiking and biking trails, you can enjoy a very diverse flora and fauna. Especially during the bird migration in spring and autumn you will see a great variety of mudflats and water birds.
The large fishing port of Lauwersoog, but also the small ports of Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen, Oostmahorn and Zoutkamp are definitely worth a visit. Close by, about 15 km away, is the picturesque and lively town of Dokkum. A little further, both at about 30 km, the cities of Leeuwarden and Groningen. Leeuwarden, understated, with an old city center, Groningen, a vibrant university town, with also very monumental modern buildings, the office of the Gasunie, not to mention the museum. From Lauwersoog you can take the boat for a day trip to the island of Schiermonnikoog.
Bed linen is provided and you do not need to bring your own.
In the winter months the horses are stabled.
At this special place you only need to sit outside to enjoy the peace and quiet and the landscape around you

Great beautiful location, friendly owner. Apartment is fine with everything you need. With the bike you can go in all directions, and that rest is so nice. Really recommended. We really enjoyed.
Nice quiet accommodation with a hospitable owner who does everything to make it to your liking.
It was such a relaxing vacation, rest fresh air. You could almost fish out of the kitchen. Everything was great. We will go there more often. Thank you very much!
It was a beautiful week in Friesland. The head-neck-hull farm was just outside Visvliet. Midden in nature. The farm was really very old, but you accept that when you choose this location.
Unfortunately, this accommodation was difficult to find. Both via the Tom Tom and GoogleMaps. Also with longitude and latitude. Actually does not exist. Environment very rural. We were made very welcome.
Very simple studio. Beautiful surroundings. We have had little contact with the owner because of the corona. We think that is a shame.
