Langweer village centre

Highlight • Settlement

Story

Langweer used to only be reached by water. It was a swampland, and it was only in 1856 that it was connected to the outside world via the Brédyk (dyke) via Sint Nicolaasga.

In the 1990s, Langweer became a popular tourist town due to its picturesque streets and water sports opportunities. One of the main events is Skutsjesilen, a sailing race that takes place every summer.

The name Langweer is derived from the Frisian name Langwar.

The village symbol found on the flag is a swan, which may be derived from the right of farmers to shoot swans.🙈 (Wikipedia)

Langweerderwielen

Highlight • Lake

The Langweerderwielen (Frisian: Langwarder Wielen) is an elongated lake south of the Sneekermeer in the municipality of De Friese Meren.

It is about three kilometers long, one kilometer wide and becomes increasingly narrower towards the northeast. The northeastern tip of the lake is called Oudeweg. The lake has connections on the west side with the Prinses Margrietkanaal and the Koevordermeer, on the southeast side with the Tjeukemeer via the Scharsterrijn and on the north side with the Sneekermeer via the Noorder Oudeweg or via the Prinses Margrietkanaal.

There is a lot of recreational boating on the Langweerderwielen. There are marinas and holiday parks in Langweer and Boornzwaag. There is a beach on the lake at Langweer.

Right next to the Langweerderwielen is the Put van Nederhorst, an enclosed 21 meter deep recreational lake with a beach. This lake near Boornzwaag is not part of the Langweerderwielen, but is a former sand pit.

Great nature and fantastic cycling routes.
