The weather forecast for the coming weekend says: dry and sunny - at least for Saturday.
Wishing to visit Het Twiske ? Great ! But check first the visitor's center (Bezoekers Centrum).
A Bit of history about the area: In the beginning of the 60's sand was collected from 't Twiske for the buidling of the Coentunnel. That's how the Stooterplas (a big lake in Twiske) was made.
In 1972, around this lake, beaches, pathways and other facilities for recreation were planned. Other areas of Twiske were left untouched. Twiske has a size of 600 ha being 20 ha of water.
The entrance to the Blauwe Poort water park is free. There is a pirate ship in the middle of the lake and the water is just 1,40m deep. In the water park there is also a restaurant and a snack bar. Another restaurant option, near the marina De Roemer, is Het Pavillioen. You can rent canoes, motor boats or a sailing boat for maximum 5 persons and visit the most beautiful areas of 't Twiske. Check for sailing route information in the visitors' center.
When ciclying in Twiske you can spot hares, many different types of birds and foxes.
The construction above is for the bees to deposit their eggs. I have learned a lot with my kids about the disappearance of bees and the fragile balance of nature.
And you can also buy in the visitor's center souvenirs and local produce, such as honey.
I will start having honey in a daily basis starting in January next year, in order to prevent me from pollen allergy when May arrives. Honey is a natural antibiotic. I hope it will help me.
