De Slotplaats Estate, Bakkeveen

Highlight • Restaurant

The centuries-old estate De Slotplaats Bakkeveen is definitely worth a break. In this restored castle farm you will find a beautiful restaurant where you can enjoy a tasty lunch, high tea, dinner or a picnic in the orchard. Very nice: many of the ingredients are picked fresh daily on the estate itself.

The restaurant is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM.
During the winter months they are closed for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday evenings (with the exception of December and groups).

Slotplaats Manor and Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

The castle that once stood here, known at the time as 'het Blauwhuis', was built in 1668 and demolished in 1838. The castle farm has always been standing and you can still visit it today. You can also enjoy delicious food in the restaurant.

Duurswouderheide Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewing platform on the Duurswoudsterheide offers a wide panorama over one of the most beautiful heathlands of Friesland. From this elevated spot you look out over vast heathlands, interspersed with fens and forest edges that show a different play of colours every season. A perfect place to stand still for a moment, take a deep breath and enjoy the peace and nature.

Freulevijver

Highlight • Lake

The freu pond is an old pingo ruin, bordered by birch, beech and mountain ash. The estate was built around 1880 by the Lycklama à Nijeholt family for wood production and the pond was part of the private park. The damsel enlarged the pond around 1900 and had a tea dome built so that her family and guests could linger there as well as boating.
