On the old switchyard near the village of Driezum, this former toll house stands as a nature house. Rebuilt in 1913 as a warehouse and now suitable as a cottage for two people. The nature house has a living room with a double bed, kitchen with microwave and dishwasher, bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet. Upstairs is a sauna for free use. Behind the cottage is a terrace with garden chair set and barbecue. Parking is available right next door. The nature house does stand directly on the through road (60 km/hour) to Dokkum. The cottage itself is less suitable for absolute peace and quiet, but within five minutes you are right in a nature reserve for cycling and walking.

Nature and surroundings

The area is known for the so-called coulisse landscape; a semi-open landscape bordered by tree walls and hedges. The area is best explored by walking and cycling. Often across meadows, where no motorized traffic comes, on shell and sandy paths. The nature house is a good starting point for mudflat hiking, bird watching in the National Park Lauwersmeer. The Elfstedenstadje Dokkum is worth a visit: the Bonifatiuskapel, windmills, atmospheric city center with canals, pleasant shopping, terraces, eating out and the Admiralty House. Throughout the year there are nature excursions in the area.Dokkum can be reached in five minutes. Leeuwarden and the ferry ports to Schiermonnikoog and Ameland can be reached in 25 minutes by car.

    The house is small, comfortably furnished and equipped with everything you need. The sauna is great and helped us to relax. We found the small windows and the dim and therefore cozy light just great. There was a bit more traffic on the street during rush hour, but that didn't bother us. We were still able to sleep well. When we had questions before booking and also on site, the landlords answered us super quickly (great tips on restaurants...). It was great there and we'd love to stay again.

    We spent a wonderful week in the Altes Zollhaus, a beautiful landscape with many tranquil places nearby.
