Welcome in Leeuwarden

Leeuwarden has a reasonably historical city center with canals and mounds (man-made hills) dating from the middle ages.  Old store fronts and beautifully restored monuments adorn the city. Examples of these include the Oldehove a large slanted tower and the Waag an old weighing station in the middle of town.   
A walking tour through the city center is more than a trip around old buildings.  This city has remarkable canals and small streets, cozy shops and interesting museums.  
  When you look at a map from 1603 you can recognize almost every street, square, canal and building.  In the 20th century, several canals were filled in and converted into streets.  Fortunately the character of the streets surrounding these old canals has been preserved.

A day strolling through the streets of the capital of the Province of Friesland has many high points. Get to know the past and the present. 

Camping Taniaburg

 The farm at the campsite is on historical grounds.
All at the mid-16th century there was the State Taniaburg associated with a farm.
The old farmhouse was built in 1839 as a new head-neck-trunk farmhouse.
In 1995 we bought the farm with the idea to start a campsite.
Because the farm was in a dilapidated state it went to 2 years to get it back in a habitable state for our family.
After that the camp could be started.
This was inaugurated in 1998 and has grown into a caravan site with 17 places, 9 places for campers, a cabin, and a two and a five person apartment.
The campsite is situated on the outskirts of Leeuwarden in a forest and on a lake.
Around 1990 a forest was constructed north of Leeuwarden approximately 100 ha with beautiful water features.
The farm is located approximately 100 meter north of the city of Leeuwarden.
