Loosdrecht also upholds the traditional Dutch image with its displays of colourful plants- both in and out of the water. On dry land the scenery ranges from quaint farmhouses to grand country houses- a varied landscape waiting to be discovered.

Windmills tower at the entrance of towns as if to mark your route along the pretty Dutch landscape and thousands of ponds lakes brooks and canals flow in every direction to form magnificent aquatic embroidery. When cruising in Holland you soon find that boating is a way of life. Marina Strand Horst is situated in a beautiful natural environment. This is a luxury resort with a Mediterranean atmosphere and lots of facilities on site.

Kourdam is a pretty village and is one where you will find many locals still wearing national dress. It is a place were you will feel you have stepped back in time into a Rembrandt painting.

The symbol of Sneek is the Waterpoort (Water Gate). This gate is unique and is internationally recognised as the logo which Gaastra sailmakers use. However Sneek has much more to offer. It is also the water sports centre of Fryslân and there are many opportunities in the town to get involved in activities on the water.
