It is also the ultimate way to explore nature! The unique flora and fauna in our moorland areas can be easily experienced from the water. Below are our water and boating tips.

Wormer- en Jisperveld

"In the Wormer- and Jisperveld you will find shallow ditches, vast meadows and hundreds of islands. A paradise for birdwatchers but also a very nice place for refreshing summer activities on the water."

Ellen Groenveld takes us to a particularly beautiful, fun or tasty spot in the Zaan region every month on her page 'On the road with Ellen'.
