Holiday apartment in Legemeer – cycle route, bell frame and golf
Accommodation in Legemeer
Legemeer beautifully combines a watery landscape, cycle routes, regional history and golf. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Legemeer, you can plan your holiday days around different interests: one day actively exploring lakes and mills, another learning about local history at the bell frame, or enjoying the golf facilities at Sint Nyk.
Cycling between water and mills
The “Fietsroute Langweer - Joure - Sint Nicolaasga” route plays a special role. One of its stops is the Klokkenstoel Legemeer. The first section runs around the Langweerderwielen, a recreational water area near Legemeer. In the vicinity of Legemeer, the route also passes Tjeukemeer. This means that a cycling tour can focus on several different water landscapes without losing sight of the area’s historical and rural character.
The regional scenery also includes the Sweachmermolen in Boornzwaag. The mill stands near Legemeer and dates from 1782. This gives you a clear choice when planning your trip between a more active cycle tour and a day programme in which the landscape and older buildings provide a shared backdrop.
The bell frame of Legemeer
The wooden bell frame of Legemeer stands in a cemetery surrounded by a ditch. Its bell preserves several specific historical details: the inscription names Jacobus van Bergen in Midwolda as the bell’s founder in 1722. It also records that Lady A.A. van Eijsinga donated the bell to Legemeer in 1948. It is precisely this combination of the wooden bell frame, the cemetery surrounded by a ditch and the two dates that makes the site an evocative part of a trip during which you can discover local history without relying solely on large museums.
Golf and woodland near Sint Nyk
The area around Legemeer also offers several specific attractions for golf enthusiasts. BurgGolf Sint Nyk is located on the edge of the Vegelinbossen woodland. The golf course was designed by golf course architects Alan Rijks and Paul Rolin. BurgGolf Sint Nyk has practice facilities and a driving range. At BurgGolf Golfclub Sint Nyk, visitors can charge a bicycle, and it is also possible to organise a golf clinic there. The facilities also include a restaurant called Kingfisher.
In addition, the practice facilities at Golfpark Sint Nyk are free of charge and open to everyone. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider which focus best suits your trip: a cycle tour around the waters, historical impressions surrounding the bell frame, or time on and beside the golf course. A holiday apartment in Legemeer can thus serve as a peaceful base for planning a wide variety of holiday days, without requiring you to commit to just one activity.
