Great for a little break. Delicious drinks, snacks, and a beautiful view of the small harbor. We moored directly in front with the sailboat.

Nice electric ferry. Self-service... press two buttons before it works. It took a while before we figured it out and that it actually worked.

The wooden bell tower in Akmarijp stands in a tree-lined cemetery. The church in Akmarijp was demolished in 1722. In 1844, the remaining tower was demolished and replaced by a bell tower.

Simply press "bel" and the friendly ferryman, who serves the guests in the restaurant, will come and pick up the cyclists with the Pont Rufus.
