History For decades the Netherlands has been fighting against the water. However, the water has also been used in these decades for transporting different goods. Therefore, the landscape changed significantly over the years and terps, dikes and canal houses were built, which are narrow houses and nowadays used for additional living space and warehouses. Different museums, for instance the Frisian Maritime Museum in Sneek or the Frisian Museum in Leeuwarden tell more about our past and history. Also visit the Batavia replica in Lelystad.

Rathaus and Roland The old Rathaus in Brandenburg an der Havel can be regarded as a typical example of Gothic brick architecture. Until 1715, when two cities, Altstadt and Neustadt, were united to Brandenburg an der Havel, the town hall was the administrative centre of the Altstadt. Then it served as a shop, goods storage and prison. In 1910 it was bought back by the city of Brandenburg and reconstruction work followed. In front of the town hall is the five-meterhigh statue of Roland. This sandstone statue is a symbol for freedom.

On this page you will find information about the rules and signs for making use of the waterways and the opening hours for the bridges in Friesland. This information is useful during your holiday.

Regulation on the waterway

A few important rules are: - Do not suddenly change course; - Ensure good visibility; - Larger ships, passenger ships and ferries have priority over small vessels (<20m); - Right before left; - Sailboats (sailing under sail) have priority over motorboats; - Always drive right in the waterways; - Commercial shipping always has the right of way.

Commercial shipping

Friesland is the water sports province of The Netherlands. Each year many water sports enthusiasts come to Friesland for boating, sailing, swimming or for a different kind of water sports. Within commercial shipping, Friesland is also known for the Princes Magrietkanaal, Van Harinxmakanaal and the waterways to Drachten and Heerenveen. To keep the traffic safe, various rules were made for the main waterways. Always drive on the right side and within the waterway. Drive quickly through bridges and watergates. Think about the speed due to wave and suction that can be caused through the ship. Try to avoid the blind spot of other boats and do not cross the waterway of approaching boats. Furthermore, do not only pay attention to traffic in front of you, but also look back on regular basis. 53
