View over the Lauwersmeer

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the few Dark Sky parks in the Netherlands, where it is still really dark at night. During the day also a beautiful view over the Lauwersmeer. The road is quite busy at times and recently re-built.

Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen Locks and Harbor

Done! Circling a sea once by bike. 😊

It doesn't have to be the Baltic Sea. 😉

In dry weather we went around the Lauwersmeer on October 18th, 21st. Most of the time on very well-developed bike paths, mostly parallel to the road. Due to the geographical conditions, you have a wide view of the landscape on all sides.

Round trip of 40 km around the National Park. I started from state forestry camping de Pomp. The first part is open and a bit boring, but the dike before Lauweroog and the part after that to Zoutkamp is beautiful with a view over the reeds and water.
