A ferry has been operating on Nije Skou since 1750. On the initiative of the noble family Vegelin van Claerbergen a ferry was put into service. This is a fast connection between Joure and Leeuwarden. Since there was no direct connection between Joure and Terherne at that time, the ferry connection became one of the most important connections of this time. Due to the ever better connections, the ferry lost usefulness. The ferry was decommissioned in 1971. 35 years later, the demand for old ferry services is greater than ever due to the progress of bicycle tourism. The Nije Skou ferry was also partially restored due to the efforts of the Akwaseum Foundation. The official opening took place on May 10, 2006 by Mayor B. Kuiper from Skarsterland.
Hours of operation:
April 1 to April 30 daily from 10:00 to 18:00
May 1 to September 15 from 10:00 to 20:00
September 16th to October 15th daily from 10am to 6pm.
