Nice restaurant with a large ship "Tromp" berthed on the canal in front, with seating available on deck. Perhaps the best views of the historic town centre can be enjoyed from this position.

Spectacular nature reserve, especially for bird lovers. Vast flocks of migratory geese and hundreds of other species, from lapwings, spoonbills and black-tailed godwits to numerous buzzards, falcons and even the elusively rare White tailed eagle. It is possible to rent a boat, or other watersports and spend time on the beautiful Lake.

The highest 'terp' left in the country, this piece of ancient Frisian history tells the story of how people dealt with the tidal conditions of this region before the era of dyke construction. A 12th century church sits atop the mound.

The historic fishing villages of Paessens-Moddergat are nestled up against the huge Sea Dyke. See the fishing museum among tiny traditional houses, along with a monument commemorating a terrible storm that decimated the local fishing fleet, resulting in tragic loss of life at the end of the 19th century. Spectacular sea views towards Ameland and Schiermonnikoog islands.
