From Heerenveen you can easily sail to one of the large Frisian lakes.
You can take a beautiful trip along all the Frisian lakes, because the lakes are connected by various canals and ditches.

You can participate in all kinds of water activities on the lakes. Cast a fishing line during a day of fishing, or go surfing, paddle boarding, swimming, and so on!
It is also a good idea to dock your rental boat in town and head into town. For example, visit one of the two castles, the Crackstate or the Oenemastete. The Crackstate is a structure enclosed by a moat. Throughout its history it has served as a home, prison and town hall. A similar building to the Oenemastate is the Oenemastate. Mill Welgelegen is also a place of interest. This 15th-century remnant is the only one of the seventeen windmills that used to stand in Heerenveen. The toll house and the Holy Spirit Church are also worth a visit. Music festivals, fairs, sailing competitions and other events are regularly held in Heerenveen.
