The city of Workum is in the southwest corner of Friesland and is one of the oldest cities in the province. Workum has had city status since 1399 and is one of the Frisian eleven cities. A dug waterway, the Wymerts, linked the harbour with the Frisian inland lakes.
Workum has something for everyone, from Jopie Huisman to cosy terraces and from guild biers to natural values. You can enjoy the beautiful paintings from old iron and lamp merchant Jopie Huisman, but there is also a museum where you can get acquainted with Workum’s rich history.

Eernewoude, natuurgebied De Alde Feanen |

De Alde Feanen means The Old Fenlands in Frisian. Ancient peat plays the most important role in the history of this beautiful area. It has lakes, bog pools, narrow strips of land, reed lands, marshlands, rugged areas, thickets, swampy forests and expansive meadows. These form a beautiful cultivated landscape that has become a natural environment, with one of Western Europe's largest wetland areas – with an area of no less than 4,000 hectares – as its crowning glory.
It was once considered a worthless area, where residents lived in poverty. Over the centuries, it has been transformed into a unique landscape, influenced by human activity. De Alde Feanen National Park in the heart of Friesland offers a wide variety of landscape types, with many different plants and animals.
