Workum, or Warkum as the Frisians call it, is one of the Frisian ‘Eleven Cities’ and its favorable location makes it an ideal starting point to explore everything Friesland has to offer. Workum has its own beach. Because it is a wide sandy beach that slopes very gradually into the IJsselmeer, it is a child-friendly and perfect location to enjoy the sun and the IJsselmeer for a day. Kite surfing, wind surfing or stand-up paddling are also very popular in the area.
If you prefer to venture out with a sloop or sailing boat, you can easily depart from Workum. Aldehoeve-logies offers various package deals including sloop rental or Polyvalk touring sailboat rental. Click <here> for available options.
Workum and its immediate surroundings also offer a large range of cultural activities. Museum “Warkums Erfskip” shows you the rich history of Workum. A must-see is the Jopie Huisman museum, dedicated to the life and work of the Frisian self-taught master painter Jopie Huisman.
If you want to explore the area, Workum is a great place to start. Workum has a train station, and a direct train takes you to the town of Sneek in less than 15 minutes. The towns of Bolsward and Hindeloopen are also located nearby. The scenic landscape around Workum is certainly worthwhile as well. You can explore the Frisian IJsselmeer coast by bike or on foot, or visit the quaint and historic villages in the area.
