Food and drink
If you are on vacation, we can imagine that you do not always feel like cooking. Eat a tasty Platé or an extensive a la carte menu in the park's restaurant. In the evening you can come here for a nice drink while enjoying a snack and good company. Looking for something easy? Then the snack bar on the vacation park offers a solution.

Boating and canoe school
National Park the Weerribben is characterized by its beautiful nature, which looks pristine. But appearances are deceptive! Due to the extraction of peat, these beautiful landscapes were created, meter by meter. All these ditches, swamp forests, floats, reed beds and nutrient-poor grasslands are a special sight, where you can enjoy beautiful cycling, walking or canoeing and whisper boating.

Vacation park De Kluft has a number of whisper boats and canoes lying around that can be rented. In addition, De Kluft has canoe school Herbie Bird. This canoe school teaches you the coast of open canoeing. Are you beginner or advanced, do you want to go alone or in a group? The choice is yours. This gives you a way to explore the area in a special way.


Surroundings
Ossenzijl is characterised by the landscape of the Weerribben: a large variety of water, reed lands, hay meadows and swamp forests. In this area, you can spot many interesting animal species such as otters. The surrounding area has many unique (water) villages. Some examples are Blokzijl, Giethoorn, Oldemarkt and Kalenberg. We highly recommend exploring the area by boat! Visit Museum Giethoorn 't Olde Maat Uus, De Orchideeën Hoeve or Klimbos Avontuurlijk Paasloo for a wonderful outing. Would you rather spend a day shopping in a bigger city? Then head to nearby Meppel or Heereveen, where you will also find plenty of restaurants, cafés and terraces.
