Langwar
Langweer (or Langwar as we say in Friesland) is the ideal basis for fantastic sailing trips around this centrally located Frisian lake region. Soak up the atmosphere during a village walk and discover all the little alleyways. Or take to a bike and enjoy the countryside, and don't forget all the water we have. A real highlight of the small but very friendly centre are the beautiful old buildings with their rich history. And do you feel like an evening out? There are plenty of options in Langweer, whatever you fancy.
Highlights in Langweer
Skûtsjesilen
Will you be visiting Langweer in July? Remember to check out the competition calendar for skûtsjesilen in Langweer. The entire village will be involved in this traditional sailing competition using old cargo boats. Of course, the party organised around the event is just as fantastic as the competition itself. The sporty people among us can enjoy the Skûtsje kuier. During this 12 km walk around the Langweerder Wielen, you'll have a fantastic view of the skûtsjesilen. What a unique experience!
