Experience an unforgettable and sustainable nature excursion in the breathtaking De Alde Feanen National Park. Step aboard a beautiful Barge and be enchanted by the lush nature and rich biodiversity of this unique low moorland.

Experience Sailing Like The Past during the Excursion ‘Get Lost with Stories’

Did you know that in the past on skûtsjes and barges, the sailing boom was used to push the ship forward when there was no wind? Just like in the old days when the engine did not exist, we are now also going back to basics: everything on wind power without engine use (unless there is really no other way).

The best part? You get to work! Just like in the old days, you will be put to work hoisting the sails and keeping the ship on course. So you can experience for yourself how sustainable sailing used to be – and is still possible today.

Become one with nature

Enjoy the relaxing and active tour of the picturesque waters of De Alde Feanen. Let the soothing sounds of nature wash over you. And let Age Veldboom take you along with his wonderful stories about this varying landscape.

Using an inspiration map in the canoe, you’ll also learn all about the biodiversity of De Alde Feanen National Park. Which is not for nothing called one of the most beautiful wetlands in Western Europe.

This evening, let yourself be amazed and have your senses stimulated as you get lost in the wilderness of De Alde Feanen. Delicious snacks are provided on board, of course from Frisian local produce.
