Glamping at mini-campsite De Wedze
Camping de Wedze is located in the north of Friesland, close to the border with Groningen, right in the middle of the meadows. The campsite is small-scale and quiet, with a recreation room for a game, a magazine, or an evening of television when the weather outside is not so great. Hop on your bike and you can ride along vast meadows and small villages at your own pace. National Park Lauwersmeer is nearby: there you can walk, cycle, and spot birds, or take a canoe to explore the area from the water. Lauwersmeer is also an official Dark Sky Park, so at night you can see a starry sky that is rarely so clear in the city. Dokkum, one of the Frisian eleven cities, is close by, with canals and historic buildings. Leeuwarden can be reached in less than half an hour by car.

Surroundings
Walk through Lauwersmeer National Park
Lauwersmeer National Park is an expansive area of lakes, reed beds, and sand flats where more than three hundred bird species have been observed. You can explore it on foot or by bike along signposted routes by the Lauwerszee, which was once open water and is now a freshwater lake. Along the way, you may spot spoonbills, avocets, and, in good weather, groups of red deer grazing on the open plains. If you want to see more than just water, head to the Lauwersmeer Visitor Center for information about the land reclamation and the nature of the area.
Visit Aquazoo Friesland in Leeuwarden
Aquazoo Friesland in Leeuwarden combines an aquarium with a reptile section and a tropical butterfly house. You walk past shark tanks, sea turtles, and a large collection of freshwater fish from Europe and tropical regions. The attraction is indoors, making it a good choice even on grey days. Located less than twenty kilometers from the park, you can easily drive there.
Head over to Play and Animal Park Sanjes Safari
Play and Animal Park Sanjes Safari is located about eleven kilometers from the park and is one of the closest attractions in the area. The park combines animals with play opportunities in a green environment. You can get there quickly, which makes it an easy day out without having to drive far.
Drive to the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker
The Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker is the oldest working planetarium in the world, built by a wool carder in the eighteenth century right in his own living room. The gears and weights that keep the solar system moving are still running. You walk through the small rooms of the house while above your head the planets follow their orbits to true scale. Those who want to know more about the builder and his calculations can follow the explanations in the adjacent museum. Franeker itself is a compact town with a historic center, perfect for a stroll after your visit.
