Reitdiepveer
Aduarderzijl, Schaphalsterzijl - With the Reitdiepveer, you sail in 15 minutes between the two moorings at the ancient locks of Aduarderzijl and Schaphalsterzijl. The Reitdiep forms the natural separation between National Landscape Middag-Humsterland and the Hogeland. Several years ago, the idea arose to connect both historic landscapes via a ferry service. This makes it easy to combine cycling and hiking routes of the Hogeland and Middag-Humsterland.
