ドンゲラディールの天然記念物・トップ20

Very beautiful and impressive fountain from 1884.

The vast landscape and the changing tides characterize the area.

An Eldorado for waterfowl

In earlier times, fresh and salt water flowed together in the Lauwerszee. Fear of flooding led to the construction of a dam in 1969. A beautiful new landscape emerged on the former seabed, a true bird paradise. The nature in the Lauwersmeer is so unique that the area has been designated a National Park. Visitors are welcome day and night.

Super tour, sometimes quite a headwind

The Lauwersmeer is a truly idyllic place, there are beautiful cycle paths leading there and you can find many beaches where you can go to the harbour or where you can take a break.

Wide landscape, dominated by water.

Boniface was important for the development of the church, especially in a large part of Germany and the Netherlands. In Fulda, where his grave is, he founded a monastery. Under the supervision of followers and security, he demolished pagan objects and if there were no consequences (revenge of the gods) many converted. His conversion activities were mainly in Germany. His interest in converting Friesland, with the support of the Frankish authorities, arose from a political struggle for the influence of the Bishopric of Utrecht between Cologne and Rome. The influence of the Frankish nobility on the church was a thorn in Boniface's side. In his third journey to Friesland he and many of his followers were killed. The revenge actions subsequently cost the lives of many Frisians. Later, the position of Bishop of Utrecht also became a political position for which various families fought over the centuries. The Frankish influence in the Netherlands and Northern Germany also remained great. In the North of the Netherlands, it is mainly noble families from Westphalia. The source is mentioned in a miracle in which a horse stumbles just after the death of Boniface and a sweet source is created on a mound at that location. This source, with good water quality, has always been used, for example to brew beer, for water in Dokkum. It is water that comes from the higher area with sand/boulder clay.
