History

Heeg has a rich history. The monumental buildings and old, historic homes are proof of this. Traditionally, Heeg was a prosperous eel village (an eel is therefore depicted in the coat of arms of Heeg). The fish was even exported abroad from Heeg. This went so well that the Heeger eel fishermen had their own mooring on the Thames, near the Tower Bridge, until 1938.

Water sports location

Heeg is one of the most popular water sports locations in Friesland. The many sailing schools, marinas, boat rental companies and other water sports related companies are located there for a reason! Heeg is ideal as a starting or ending point for a trip on the Frisian Lakes. Whether you choose to sail or sail with a motorboat: Heeg is the ideal starting point. But it is also fantastic to discover the area by land, by bike, on foot or by motor. Heeg has it all.

Plenty to do in Heeg

Heeg is bustling. Especially in the summer season, many events are organized. The Skûtsjesilen is a well-known example of this. During the Heechsimmer Festival, various bands play on a floating stage and there are also regular fairs. Heeg has an extensive summer activities program for young and old. Tip from AanHetWater: sail with the Korneliske Ykes II on Thursday evening. This is a reconstruction of an old eel barge from 1872.

Catering in Heeg

Heeg is also not to be sneezed at in the culinary field. In the village you will find many nice and cozy restaurants. In many cases Frisian regional products are the basis of the dishes. There are also cozy cafes, a discotheque and nice terraces.
