Nature house in Moddergat

The Nature House In the far northeast of Friesland / where, on one side of the dike, time seems to have stood still / where, on the other side, nothing is set in stone / Always in motion, the ever-changing tide / There, at the foot of the dike / at the end of the land and the beginning of the Wadden Sea / there you’ll find this nature house. The former fisherman’s cottage is located on the outskirts of the historic village of Peasens-Moddergat, at the foot of the dike along the Wadden Sea. From this vacation cottage, you can walk straight onto the dike, with the beautiful “Peazemerlannen” (reclaimed land and tidal flats) at your feet. You’ll enjoy the benefit of a cottage that’s completely separate from the rear section and has its own entrance and garden. From there, you’ll look directly out onto the dike. The cottage has a living room, front room, and kitchen, and upstairs there are two bedrooms, one of which is best suited for two children. “Small but nice,” as my guests say, “everything you need” and it’s always cozy there.

Enjoy endless views with Ameland and Schiermonnikoog on the horizon; live in tune with the rhythm of the tides right in your backyard; explore the mudflats and stroll along endless dikes; birdwatching on the mudflats, at the corner of the Bant, and along the Lauwersmeer; a bike ride around the Lauwersmeer, enjoying some fresh fish at the harbor or in Zoutkamp; shopping in one of the picturesque villages with their rich maritime and cultural history; a seal-watching tour; a day trip to Ameland or Schiermonnikoog—it’s all possible from our nature house. If you’re an early riser, you’ll see beautiful sunrises from the dike behind your house. The former fisherman’s cottage is ideal for two adults and two children. There’s a new and lovely little playground next to the cottage, and children can safely cross the dike without any trouble to play in the mud and look for shells. The owner is an enthusiastic mudflat walker.
