Boating routes

Friesland, water sports mecca with the most beautiful sailing routes

The area around Koudum is right in the water sports heart of Friesland where you can sail endlessly. In this corner of Friesland, you will find large Frisian lakes such as the Fluessen, the Heegermeer, the Morra and, of course, the IJsselmeer! But for plenty of fun, you can also moor at a terrace in one of the well-known water sports villages such as Woudsend or Heeg.

At the boat rental and reception of De Kuilart you can ask about the various beautiful routes.

Other sailing route tips

Tip 1: Make a round on the Fluessen or some of the Frisian Elfsteden and discover the many attractions of Fryslân. Whether the Elfstedentocht can be skated in winter remains to be seen every year, but it is certain that it can be sailed now. Discover the Frisian cities!

Tip 2: The aqueduct route. Sailing through the south-western part of the Frisian lakes has become even more attractive. The construction of five aqueducts has given water sports enthusiasts ample space: instead of waiting for bridges, it is now nice sailing through, including the Galamadammen-Akwadukt here in Koudum.

Tip 3: Check out all routes in the area on Waterland of Friesland.
