Nationaal Park Schiermonnikoog

Reviewed By christelvm2016 - Lauris, France

On an October day I went by ferry to this beautiful island, rented a bike at Soepboer and cycled all around the island. Beautiful excursion for a day to visit all the highlights. Even during corona days! Due to the new regulations it is easier to book a hotel with a restaurant and have the advantage of being ablest stay and eat there.

Reviewed By KodoDrummer - Yekaterinburg, Russia

This shallow freshwater lake, or more correctly inland bay created by the building of the Afsluitdijk [dam] completed in 1932, has a surface area of about 1,100 square kilometres. This largest lake in the Netherlands is feed primarily by waters from the River Ijssel. Its surface elevation is 40 cm below sea level. The lakes maximum depth is 7 metres and has an average depth of 5.5 metres. The lake is home to many boats, especially sailboats. We went for an enjoyable boat ride on the lake, and enjoyed the great views and energizing fresh air.

Port of Harlingen

Reviewed By saddpj - Ipswich, United Kingdom

We spent some time in the restaurant/cafe overlooking the harbour on a very damp day and enjoyed watching all the various ships passing by as well as the ferries to and from the Wadden Islands of Terschling and Vlieland. There is an entrance to the canal system not far away so it was quite busy with canal barge traffic as well.
