Water
The Opsterland landscape partly consists of streams, rivers, and canals. This provides all kinds of opportunities for water recreation, such as boating, canoeing, or supping.
Turf Route
One of the most beautiful routes to sail is the Turfroute, which runs through parts of Opsterland. For more information, take a look at the website of The Other Friesland.
