The Friesian coast is dominated by the sea, which is always nearby, at night too. The sea gives and takes. A coast where magic becomes credible. Where a farmer professor stared at the clear sky with stars and planets until he gave them a place in his house too. Experience the Friesian coast with its dark and its lighter sides. Listen to the stories and give in to the night.
At Landgoed Martenastate there is a small but beautiful natural campsite. Really quiet and a good chance of a beautiful starry night.
Go on the Wad with the “Brown Fleet” and experience the darkness at its most magical.
The solar system at home. Admire the planetarium that Eise Eisinga built in his living room.
To walk means to change. Exercise your attention span during full moon at the Minfulrinne of the Friezinn.
Look at the homes and the lives of fishermen and their families in Paesens-Moddergat.
Step on board the barge WL19. During the voyage you hear everything about the boat and the fishermen of Paesens-Moddergat.
Shivers still run down the spines of the people of Paesens and Moddergat. They won't forget this dark night in a hurry. The night of the fishermen's tragedy. Seventeen boats were surprised by wild seas at Schiermonnikoog and more than eighty men from the two Friesian coastal villages perished in the Wadden Sea. The women and children of the villages were left behind to mourn.
