Ideas for Friesland
Boating in Friesland
Friesland's lakes are linked by canals and old towns such as Sneek, Grou and Heeg, a calm inland world for sailing and slow motorboats. Many days go from lake to lake with a lunch stop at a harbour quay, while Makkum looks out over the open IJsselmeer.
Where to go by boat
Sneekermeer
Large lake next to Sneek, the heart of Frisian sailing.
Grou and the Pikmeer
Water-sports village on a small lake, easy to reach from the main routes.
Heegermeer
Open lake by the sailing village of Heeg, popular for a day under sail.
Makkum
Harbour town on the IJsselmeer, where the lakes give way to wide open water.
Tip: A licence is generally needed only for boats over 15 metres or able to go faster than 20 km/h; on the IJsselmeer waves build quickly in a breeze, so small open boats are better off on the lakes.
