In Friesland, you go on the water

If the name of the park literally means "between the lakes," then you know you won't escape the water. The recreation park is situated on the Meine Sleat, which forms a connection between the Sneekermeer and the Pikmeer. It is possible to rent a sloop or motorboat at Tusken de Marren to explore Friesland's water paradise. The Sneekermeer is one of the most famous lakes in Friesland. There is plenty of water fun to be had here, especially in the summer months. Learn to water ski or sail, go supping or canoeing and of course, you can always take a refreshing dip. And are you staying at Glamping in Friesland in August? Then take a look at the 'Sneekweek', Europe's largest inland water sailing event.

Delicious food at Picknickers

For a tasty breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drink on the terrace, Picknickers is the place to be. This hip food bar is located in Terherne, about 6 km from the glamping in Akkrum. Enjoy the delicious dishes from the ever-changing menu and the beautiful view over the Sneekermeer Lake. You can go there for a classic carbonara but also for an Indian yellow curry or a vega hair salon. The food bar lives up to its name by offering many of its products on the go. So load up your picnic basket and enjoy all the goodies they lovingly prepare for you at Picknickers at one of the other beautiful locations in Friesland.

Discover cozy Akkrum

Akkrum may not be a big town, but you certainly won't be bored. Take a nice village walk or enjoy one of the beautiful parks. Visit Coopersburg, a beautiful monumental building with a landscaped garden with ponds and bridges. Also don't forget to visit Kromme Knilles and Manke Meine, the "giants of Akkrum." Still every year in May "Reuzedei" is celebrated in Akkrum.

    We booked another stay—our 35th—and received a warm welcome at the front desk; they even recognized that we were back! We were given a nice bag filled with Frisian goodies and the key. When we arrived at the cottage, it was spotless, and what a beautiful spot—a large dock for our kids and our boat. By the way, the fishing was fantastic :-) The house itself was equipped with a dishwasher and a washing machine, as well as three large bedrooms and a double bathroom. Hosting a family gathering was also no problem at all. In short, another wonderful time in a charming village—we’ll definitely be back! The Zwartbol Family, Kruiningen

    Wederom een verblijf geboekt nu op nummer 35, de aankomst bij de receptie was hartelijk, er was herkenning dat we er wéer zijn! We kregen een mooie tas met Friese spulletjes mee en de sleutel. Bij aankomst bij het huisje was het perfect schoon, en wat een mooi plekje, een groot steiger voor onze kinderen en boot. Overigens was de visvangst geweldig :-) Het huis zelf was voorzien van vaatwasser en wasmachine en 3 grote slaapkamers met een dubbele badkamer. Ook het vieren van een familiebijeenkomst was geen enkel probleem, kortom wederom een mooie tijd op een leuk dorp, wij komen zeker terug! Fam. Zwartbol Kruiningen

    Beautiful location, good service, outdated furnishings, not enough comfortable chairs; rented as a “Minerva” property, but the door is unsuitable—it should be electric.
    Small bedroom with a double bed.
    You couldn’t sit outside because of the swallows’ nests under the eaves—there was a lot of droppings.
    Final verdict: 2,100 euros per week is far too much for this accommodation.

    Mooie locatie, goede service, inboedel verouderd,te weinig goede stoelen,gehuurd als minerva woning, deur echter niet geschikt zou elektrisch moeten zijn.
    Kleine slaapkamer met 2 p bed.
    Buiten kon je niet zitten ivm de zwaluwnesten onder de kap, veel poep.
    Eindoordeel 2100 euro pw is veel te veel voor deze accomodatie.

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place. The “
    ” 6-person cottage has two bathrooms, which is very convenient. The location is fantastic, and the staff are very hospitable and friendly. Thanks in part to the great weather, we were able to fully enjoy our visit to Sneekweek and a beautiful bike ride around the Sneekermeer.

    We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in deze prachtige accommodatie. Het
    6-persoonshuisje is voorzien van twee badkamers, wat erg praktisch is. De ligging is fantastisch en de medewerkers zijn erg gastvrij en vriendelijk. Mede door het geweldige weer hebben we optimaal kunnen genieten van ons bezoek aan de Sneekweek en een hele mooie fietstocht rond het Sneekermeer.

    Great location, clean cottages, and excellent service—we had a wonderful vacation. A well-maintained resort with cheerful staff—truly top-notch. We rented a lovely boat in the area for a week—highly recommended. A lovely garden with a private dock and a covered terrace.
