This was, along with Schiermonnikoog, the most beautiful tour of our 2025 trip to Holland. After about 8 km, the signage for the junction system is incorrect. Point 9 may already have been corrected; our neighboring country is usually very good in this regard.

Due to fears of flooding, the Lauwerszee was separated from the Wadden Sea in 1969.
A beautiful natural area with many plants was created on the former seabed

Today's tour had it all: sun 🌞, clouds ☁️, rain, and above all, wind. Wind in all forms, headwind, crosswind, and tailwind, of which the latter was the least. The rain and wind were, of course, the toughest challenges, but I mastered them all.
It was, of course, a beautiful tour; we'll take the weather as it comes.

The dyke has been raised in recent years to meet future demands. The lock was apparently newly built and is not yet in operation (?).

There's so much to discover in Lauwersmeer National Park, not to mention the excellent cycling paths. There are many ways to cycle around this sea, with plenty to see and all sorts of things to discover and experience.

Definitely recommended 👍

Tour of Lauwersmeer, national park. It is too beautiful to write about here, you just have to cycle here yourself. Did not see the infamous sea eagle up close. Did see a large bird flying very far away, maybe the sea eagle after all?
Many beautiful cycle paths. Make sure you have provisions and drinks with you!
