Discover water management from Lauwersoog by boat and bus!
On Thursday, September 18, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Center (WEC) is organizing a special excursion through the working area of the Noorderzijlvest Water Authority. Under the name "Without Water Management, there is no Safe Lauwersmeer and Hinterland," the tour will depart from Lauwersoog.
Traveling by boat and bus
Participants will embark on an adventurous journey through the working area of the Noorderzijlvest Water Authority in a classic white school bus from 'Opweg in Het Hogeland' and the former lifeboat 'De Gebroeders Luden'. Guides from the water authority will take you across land and water and tell you about the importance of water management in this region along the way. For tickets, see Agenda - WEC Wadden Sea.
Excursion from Lauwersoog to De Waterwolf
The excursion starts at the WEC in Lauwersoog. The group will be split up: half will board the lifeboat 'De Gebroeders Luden' and sail via Zoutkamp to the De Waterwolf pumping station. Along the way, a guide will talk about water management in the Lauwersmeer area. The other half will travel by school bus along picturesque back roads. Here too, a guide will be present to provide explanations about waterworks and the landscape along the way and at the location.
De Waterwolf pumping station and lunch
Upon arrival at the monumental De Waterwolf pumping station, participants will be given a tour and an explanation by the managers. After lunch, the groups will switch modes of transport and make the trip in the opposite direction.
The total duration of the excursion is approximately 5.5 hours. Lunch is included. For tickets, see Agenda - WEC Wadden Sea.
