Nature in Sneek

The natural beauty of Sneek isn’t just limited to its waterways. In and around Sneek, there are several nature reserves to explore. For example, on the edge of Sneek, you’ll find Burgemeester Rasterhoff Park, the largest park in Sneek. Here, you can spot Scottish Highland cattle or deer, which roam freely in the area. The park also features a man-made waterfall, which is closed in winter but a wonderful spot to visit with children during the summer. You can enjoy pleasant walks through this former city forest, wandering over its gentle hills. Another charming spot is Wilhelmina Park, a well-maintained and enjoyable park worth visiting. In the surrounding areas of Sneek, there are also beautiful natural and water landscapes, including, of course, Sneekermeer (also known as Snitser Mar). Did you know there are more than 45 nature reserves throughout the whole of Waterland van Friesland?
