Waddenhaven

A 2 to 2½ hour trip that starts at the Oostkade. We sail through the harbors of Den Oever and past the sluices in the Afsluitdijk. Then we sail along the "Losse Dam" where the spoonbills and cormorants breed and along drier sandbanks where seals rest.

Those who know the Netherlands a little, know that it has a rich history with water. Characteristic icons such as mills, polders, pumping stations, mounds and dikes are good examples of this. The Afsluitdijk is perhaps the most impressive example of Dutch Delta Design. And with more than 600,000 visitors annually, also one of the most popular waterworks in the Netherlands.

The Wierde is great for you if you like that typical North Holland landscape. Wonderful polder landscape, numerous monumental farms, charming dike houses and narrow hiking and biking trails. It is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. From the harbor of Den Oever are dozens of ports within reach. The Wierde chalet park is your ideal base in the middle of an unprecedented varied vacation area a very modern park, with modern infrastructure.

Den Oever is also located on the Afsluitdijk and is therefore the only village that is located on fresh and salt water. The port is located near the Afsluitdijk on the Wadden Sea side. Den Oever is a real fishing port. A section of the harbor has been set up as a tourist harbour. You can take a Wadden cruise here or go for a day of sport fishing.
