The cottage
What a beautiful place to dream away completely. This cottage is located just outside the village of Jistrum near Burgum exactly between Leeuwarden, Dokkum, Drachten and the Lauwersmeer. Super central yet remote with peace and space for three people. A completely renovated working-class house - a so-called forest house - on an idyllic sandy path in the North Frisian Forests. On the floor-heated ground floor you will find an open kitchen with dining and sitting area and the bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, coffee maker, kettle, oven and toaster. The dining area is for four people and there are two armchairs in the seating area. You have access to internet, interactive TV, a DVD player and a good sound system. The bathroom has a toilet, a large sink and a shower. There is a hair dryer and soap and bath linen is standard. Upstairs is the bedroom with beds made and a wardrobe. Outside you have a large garden with play equipment, a barbecue and fire pit. On the terrace at the entrance in the morning you can drink your coffee in the sun.
Nature and environment
Our forrest house is quietly and freely situated in a protected landscape - the heart of the Northern Friesian Forests. The area is characterized by ancient tree walls that give the cozy atmosphere of a forest area. The flora and fauna is diverse and exuberant. You are awakened in the morning by a magnificent concert of the many species of songbirds that occur here. On the north side of the village Jistrum, on a 300 year old sandy path you will find this cottage. The sand path lies in an area with - especially around Jistrum - many more sandy roads suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding in Friesland. At a distance of five kilometers you will find the marina with boathouse on Lake Bergum. Nearby, on the lake, there is a public swimming area with sunbathing area, beach and jetty. In the area, the water sports and nature village Earnewâld is very worthwhile. You can take a cruise through a swamp area, the national park "De Alde Feanen". You will find, among other things, cormorants, storks, spoonbills and if you are lucky, otters. Beautiful historic cities are Dokkum and Leeuwarden. A day trip to one of the Wadden Islands is also recommended.
