The harbor is located at the Heimanswetering directly opposite to the beautifully restored Vrouwgeestmolen from 1797 of the Fam. Vrolijk. So from the marina you always have a beautiful Dutch view with a windmill. At sunset, the most beautiful pictures are taken from here.
At 100 m from our entrance gate you will find the Wetering Park. There is a dog outlet/playground, where you can let your dog run or have a swim. A hundred meters further on you will find the Weteringpark with a children's water playground, lawns and a soccer cage.

Alphen aan den Rijn and surroundings
The small city of Alphen aan den Rijn has nice attractions such as Avifauna and Archeon, so also fun for the kids.
It goes without saying that various boat trips can be made from the harbor in the immediate vicinity.
You are here in the South-Holland-lake district. Boat trips such as a city-tour through Leiden, via the Kaag lakes and then back crossing the Braassemermeer, are even great for sailing yachts with a standing mast.
Do you have a motorship or a sloop then, depending of the size of your ship, there are plenty of opportunities for an exciting cruise through the beautiful natural environments such as the Westeinderplas and the Nieuwkoopseplassen.
A day at the Braassemermeer and the Hemmen is fun especially with children.

To be short; a multi-day visit, also with children might be an interesting idea.
We hope to see you soon!
