Baayvillas is the ideal retreat for water sports fans and those searching for tranquillity. Lauwersmeer is a beautiful nature reserve with many scenic views and diversity.
Boating
On the Lauwersmeer, you can follow various boating routes set out by the Dutch Society for the Preservation of nature (Natuurmonumenten). By boat you will pass various spots where you can watch beautiful birds. Furthermore, you can naturally sail, surf, row and water-ski on the water of this vast lake. Via the southern side of the lake and winding rivers, you will be able to reach the Frisian lakes where you can also enjoy a wide array of water sports. The city of Groningen can also be reached by boat!
Wadden Sea World Heritage site
The Wadden Sea stretches across an area of 500 kilometres along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Since 2009, this fantastic nature reserve has been added to the list of UNESCO world heritage sites and has thus received an internationally protected status and this guarantees the preservation of this unique area.
In addition to the common seals, this part of nature is also home to a wide range of birds such as ducks, terns, gulls, waders and spoonbills. These species find food when they migrate and spend the winter or nest on the Wadden Sea. Various species of fish such as the herring, sole and plaice spawn here prior to returning to the North Sea. In short, a breeding site for many natural species.
Schiermonnikoog
At walking distance from the Baayvillas, you can take a ferry to the Dutch Wadden Island called 'Schiermonnikoog'. Take your bicycles along on the boat, the island is car-free!
