Elfstedenhart

Elfstedenhart is a small-scale holiday park in Witmarsum, in the heart of Friesland, situated directly on the Elfstedenroute and within reach of the Wadden Sea.

Accommodations at Elfstedenhart

The park has 58 detached wooden holiday homes, all built with sustainability in mind. The houses are spacious and freestanding, several of them positioned directly on the water. The design emphasises a connection with the natural surroundings, with open views across the Frisian landscape.

Facilities at the Park

Given the park's compact size, the on-site offer is focused rather than extensive. Guests can rent SUPs directly at the park to get out onto the water. Boat rental, sailing and fishing are also available options for those who want to make use of the waterways on and around the park.

What to Do Around Witmarsum

Witmarsum sits in an area characterised by wide agricultural landscapes, Frisian farmhouses and waterways. The Elfstedenroute runs directly past the park and can be explored on foot, by bike or by boat throughout the year. In winter, when conditions allow, it is also possible to skate along parts of the historic route, though this is naturally weather-dependent. The nearby town of Franeker has a well-preserved historic centre worth a visit, and the museum village of Allingawier, a short way from the park, gives an impression of traditional Frisian rural life. The Wadden Sea coast is also within reach, offering a distinct natural environment with tidal flats and birdlife.

Getting to Elfstedenhart

The park is located in the province of Friesland in the north of the Netherlands. Leeuwarden, the provincial capital and a city with a compact historic centre, is the nearest sizeable urban hub.

Who This Park Suits

Elfstedenhart suits couples and families who want a quiet base in rural Friesland and are interested in outdoor activities such as cycling, walking and watersports. The small scale of the park and the emphasis on nature and space make it less suited to those looking for a lively resort with extensive on-site entertainment.
