Nature and outdoor activities
Walking, cycling and enjoying the north of Friesland
National Park Lauwersmeer
Less than half an hour from Hantum lies the Lauwersmeer National Park, a vast nature reserve of waterways, reed beds and forests. Climb the Reiddomptoren or the Vlinderbalg for a panoramic view over the entire area.
Nature, birds and starry skies
The park is a paradise for birdwatchers, with migratory birds such as the white-tailed eagle and the spoonbill, as well as Konik horses and Scottish Highland cattle along the shores. Walking, cycling and canoeing are all possible here, and on clear nights the starry sky is truly breathtaking.
De Alde Feanen National Park
Wander through De Alde Feanen, where hidden paths and quiet waterways invite you to explore. Hire a canoe or a whisper boat and glide silently through lakes, marshes and reed beds.
Flora, fauna and peace
This nature reserve is a paradise for nature lovers, with special species such as the white-tailed eagle and the purple heron. The scents and colours of the landscape stimulate the senses anew on every outing.

Walking and cycling in a special landscape
