Nature and surroundings

This nature house is located in Wartena (officially, in Frisian: Warten), a village in the municipality of Leeuwarden. Wartena has about 1,000 residents and is situated on the Prinses Margriet Canal near a busy four-way intersection of waterways (Frisian: de Krúswetters). A shipyard was established in the village in 1907, where skûtsjes, tugboats, and coasters, among other vessels, were built. In 2003, the shipyard went bankrupt. Across the canal lies the nature and water sports area of De Alde Feanen National Park. It is accessible, among other ways, from Wartena Marina via the solar-powered bicycle and pedestrian ferry “De Oerhaal.” The connecting (bike) path runs along the water of the Lange Sleat toward Eernewoude. The house is located on the waterfront; sound carries far. It is not permitted to cause a disturbance with music and/or loud voices after 11 PM.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.

The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation.
