Search for gnomes on the Kabouterpad
The Kabouterpad (Gnome path) is a fantastic walk that starts at Lauwersnest Activity Centre. In case you are wondering, of course there are gnomes in Lauwersmeer National Park. But only very young children can see them. There are traces of gnomes everywhere: tiny footprints in the sand, wheelbarrow tracks, flattened grass where a gnome has taken a nap. Search on your own or rent a backpack at Lauwersnest. With their cheeks painted red and their pointy hats on, the youngsters can begin their adventure.
Playing in the water park in Lauwersoog
Digging up sand in the water? In the large water park near Het Booze Wijf restaurant in Lauwersoog children of all ages can try their hand at dredging and building.
