Gemeentehaven
Gemeentehaven is Stavoren's municipal marina, sitting right in the heart of this historic town — the oldest city in Friesland and the legendary gateway between the IJsselmeer and the vast Frisian lake district. You're well-placed here to explore the Stavoren lock, which connects open IJsselmeer sailing to the sheltered inland waters of Súdwest-Fryslân. The waterfront has a quiet, unhurried feel, with the old town, a train station (rare for a place this small), and ferry connections to Enkhuizen just a short walk away.
