Wat kun je verwachten?

Will this be your first time planning to come and enjoy a lovely two-day package in this part of Groningen or Friesland? And you are very fond of genuine peace, space, wide-open nature? Then your first thrill is guaranteed to be one of wonder. "Is this real?"

The landscape formed by the river Lauwers, and the character of the entire Lauwersmeer area, are of unique beauty by Dutch standards. Its crowning as a "National Landscape" and international recognition as a "Dark Sky Park" are only logical.

Get carried away on the road trip 'Van Lauwers tot Wad' through this magical, beautiful area.

The battle at the time between the Frisians and the Groningers over "what to do with the Lauwerszee?" ultimately produced only winners; for both regions North-East Friesland and North-West Groningen, for the surrounding villages and port towns, not to mention for nature and birds.

Did you know that on a beautiful winter day, you can see tens of thousands of geese just like that? 'Tis an overwhelming, magnificent sight. The chances of spotting the great white-tailed eagle are increasing by the year. The eagle has taken the Lauwersmeer area as its permanent habitat and nesting area.

But not only the views of the magnificent water plains, flora and fauna, with the imposing cloudscapes above them, make the Lauwersmeer area a world-class area.

It is also the stories about the battle against the Lauwerszee, the reclamations and life in the villages and harbour towns, such as Ezumasyl, Anjum, Veenklooster, Munnekezijl, Lauwersoog, Zoutkamp, that make a stay here an unforgettable mini-vacation.

If you are full of impressions at the end of the day, then flatter yourself at one of the excellent restaurants you will find on both the west and east sides of the Lauwersmeer.

Day 1: two-day package Lauwersmeer

On the date you booked, you will drive to the starting location of the route "From Lauwers to Wad". This is in Lauwerzijl or Munnekezijl, unless specified otherwise in the booking confirmation.

The introduction to the area starts with driving through the land that was once reclaimed and developed on the Lauwerszee.

The influence of the Lauwerszee used to reach far into Friesland. It is particularly fascinating to discover that a little further from now Lauwersmeer, the Frisian landscape has a different character; more forest-like and with a few special places. Meet the Fogelsanghstate and 't Lytse Slot in Veenklooster. Further north, Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen impresses. and the picturesque Ezumasyl.

At several places, you are invited to stretch your legs for special viewpoints. Be sure to do that! The description also gives you tips on where to drink and eat something along the way.

"Above Anjum the world ends" you sometimes hear, but that is exactly where a unique piece of unprecedented world begins; you are now approaching the connection with the Wadden Sea. Whether you turn left or right, they are both worthwhile.

On the afsluitdijk, which definitively closes off the Lauwerszee from the Wadden Sea, you might prefer to drive very slowly. Do so especially when approaching the Cleveringsluizen. These have been completely refurbished, and look stunning.

Then you are actually only halfway through the tour. The Groningen coastal part of the Lauwersmeer has a completely different character from the Frisian one. Driving through Lauwersoog, you discover the new WEC. This is well worth a visit for your second day.

From Lauwersoog towards Zoutkamp, it's pure nature you drive through. Discover the beaches, the bird-watching huts, the Dark Sky Sky platform on which you can watch stars at night. Enjoy the views over the vast golden reed beds.

The route ends in Zoutkamp, the former port and fishing town of the Lauwerszee. Zoutkamp's grief over the loss of the port is still close to the surface for some Zoutkampers. Fortunately, Zoutkamp has firmly recovered, and has now become a bustling town, where you can still experience the harbour atmosphere of yesteryear.

At the end of the day, relax on the terrace - or inside - at ZK86, overlooking the former harbour. You can also enjoy a delicious meal here.

Before or after dinner, drive to your hotel or B&B where you can spend the night in comfort. Time for check-in and other details you received when booking.
