The area around Stavoren is particularly suitable for water sports enthusiasts, hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers. Additionally, you can enjoy fantastic fishing at the harbor or one of the many other bodies of water. In the old harbor of Stavoren, there is a daily coming and going of modern sailing ships and traditional clippers. In Stavoren, at the harbor, you will find among other things "the Lady of Stavoren," the symbol of the medieval legend about the mysterious downfall of Stavoren after a wealthy past. This statue is the only reminder of that destruction. From Stavoren, there are many beautiful excursion options to the other 11 cities, such as Workum, Hindeloopen, and Sneek. On a beautiful day, a boat trip to Enkhuizen (Zuiderzee Museum, Fairy Tale Forest), a delightful bike ride through the Gaasterland forests, or simply lounging on one of the beautiful beaches is definitely worth the effort. In less favorable weather, you could visit the Jopie Huisman Museum in Workum or the Frisian Skating Museum in Hindeloopen.
Stavoren has charming shops, restaurants, pubs, churches, as well as a supermarket, bakery, and butcher. Visit Stavoren during your vacation and experience the taste of the maritime atmosphere of this cozy harbor town.
