Hiking, biking and other (water) sports
Camping close to golf club Gaasterland
Around the campsite there are many opportunities to play sports, bike or take a walk.
De Waps is located on many cyclist’s crossroads and, being centrally located, it forms a great departure point for hikers. And you can do many more sports around the Waps! At a two kms distance, there is golf club Gaasterland for example.
Needless to say, Friesland is the perfect location for all different kinds of water sports : ‘t Mirnse Klif (a 5 minute drive) has been partially designed for kite surfers.
The other part is intended for family recreation. You can rent boats, swim or surf in the surrounding villages near the Frisian lakes (Balk, Lemmer, Oudega, Elahuizen and Sloten). These villages are all located within a few minutes from De Waps by car.

Frisian villages and culture
Rich culture of Friesland
Gaasterland flaunts a rich history, that can be found in the historical villages in the surroundings of De Waps: Sloten, Hindeloopen, Stavoren and Workum.
Visit for example the museum of Jopie Huisman (Workum) where you can admire the collected works of this Frisian artist and illustrator.
Have you ever seen the Woman of Stavoren looking out over the water while the boats come in and out of the harbour?
Or go back in time to the 16th century with a visit to the historical village of Sloten. One of the eleven villages of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven cities tour) with its characteristic mill, beautiful facades and original pavement.
Sloten is the place to be to have a little stroll, to relax and to linger on a terrace next to the water. Sloten’s famous Rembrandt Mill is open almost daily for visits.
