Hiking

Mar en Klif is the Visitor Center of National Landscape Southwest Fryslân. You can learn how the landscape was created here in the Ice Age, but of course also everything about the history of the Zuiderzee and the IJsselmeer.

Hiking

In Southwest Friesland, you'll find a unique mix of landscapes, from cliffs and coastline to terps, dikes, and the rolling Gaasterland. Begin your discovery tour at the Mar en Klif visitor center, where the story of this remarkable area comes to life.

Adults will discover traces of the Ice Age, learn about agricultural history, and gain insight into events from World War II. Children can enjoy playful activities such as sliding in the ice cave, examining pellets, and building stinzen.
