The summer polders and salt marshes outside the dikes have been released back to nature by It Fryske Gea and there are beautiful walking paths and good cycling paths along the dike. The Noorderleeg is an Eldorado for bird lovers. The area is on the western bird migration route along the coastline. Huge numbers of birds make their way through this annually and tens of thousands of barnacle geese overwinter here before flying back north again at the end of May.
On top of the dike you look out over the mudflats and you can see Ameland. The ferry to Ameland leaves 5 km away in Holwerd, the boat to Schiermonnikoog from Lauwersoog is less than half an hour's drive away. Vlieland and Terschelling are accessible from Harlingen.

The history of Ferwert goes back to a few centuries before the beginning of the era when the village arose on a ridge of salt marsh. Mientjes Morgen would not be built until many centuries later, in 1900 to be precise. Its appearance has hardly changed since then, but the interior has certainly been adapted to today's wishes, so that you will find enough comfort to enjoy a wonderful holiday.
