Nature and environment

Nature and environment
Our Wâldhûske is quietly and freely situated in a protected landscape - the heart of the Northern Friesian Forests. The area is characterized by ancient tree walls that radiate the cozy atmosphere of a forest area. The flora and fauna is diverse and exuberant. You are awakened in the morning by a magnificent concert of the many species of songbirds that occur here. On the north side of the village Jistrum, on a 300 year old sandy path you will find this cottage. The sand path lies in an area with - especially around Jistrum - many more sandy roads suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding in Friesland. At a distance of five kilometers you will find the marina with boathouse on the Bergumermeer. Nearby, on the lake, there is a public swimming area with sunbathing area, beach and jetty. In the area, the water sports and nature village Earnewâld is very worthwhile. You can take a cruise through a swamp area, the national park "De Alde Feanen".

History
Already on a grietenijkaart from 1694 we find a "Vogelkooy" with our cottage at the address of the Heideweg in Eestrum. There is still a duck pond on our site. a remnant of the original duck cage.
In 1996, the former owner behind the old wâldhûske built a modern house under architecture in the style of a wooden haycake. In 2007 we bought it and after that the old house was completely renovated in rustic style.
