Dutch Wadden Weekend
he Dutch Wadden (The mud’s) and Zuider Zee are by far the places to be to enjoy Dutch nature and wildlife. Since ancient times these seas were sailed by the sail ships known as "Bruine Vloot". In the old days to transport cargo, yet nowadays anyone can sign on to sail along on these magnificant ships. We invite on a unique journey where you enjoy both the Wadden and the Zuyder Zee. And what would be better than to experience the trip to Terschelling-Island when the sun is setting. Sailing on the authentic Dutch two-mast sail ship 'Vliegende Draeck', enjoying the sea, wind and freedom while a true Dutch meal is being prepared for you. You spend the night on board the Vliegende Draeck in or in front of the port of Terschelling . The next morning you can enjoy a steady breakfast before you start your adventure on the island. Whether you choose to explore nature on foot, by bicycle to the many activities the island has to offer. In the evening you will set sail for another wonderful island: Vlieland where the ship may easily 'fall dry'on a sand bank. So for those of you who bring their boots; You can walk to shore, or at least around the ship. The next morning the ship sets sail for the Zuiderzee, also known as the IJsselmeer, using the sluice of Kornwerderzand and on the way back to Harlingen you will see the picturesque town of Makkum. Back in Harlingen we say our goodbyes and hope you had a wonderful trip
