Sneek, Heeg and Oudega

Sneek is located near the Sneekermeer, which is an Eldorado for breeding birds. The black-tailed godwit, lapwing, yellow wagtail and garganey like to build their nests here and of course reed birds such as the bluethroat, reed warbler, reed warbler and bittern are completely in their element here. In the winter you will find thousands of geese here. What makes Sneek really special is the historic city centre, which was even the capital of Friesland from 1498 to 1500. The city centre of Sneek was even the first city in Friesland to be completely walled in 1492. The oldest district of the city is located in the heart of the town and the entire city centre is a protected cityscape. There are many historic buildings and elements that remind us of the glory days of the trading city, of which the Waterpoort is the most famous. The gate is located in part of the old wall and consists of two octagonal towers. A bridge has been built between them and above that bridge is the gatekeeper's house. A miniature of the Waterpoort can be found in Madurodam. You can park your car at Profile Rodenburg (H). Take the opportunity to service your bike to ensure that you are on your way safely.
