Winter in Húns

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY IN FRIESLAND.
WITH AN ICE SKATING RINK RIGHT OUTSIDE

Away from all the hustle and bustle. Make the holidays days of rest for yourself and your family. Come nestle in our cozy house in Friesland and enjoy nature that - just like you - relaxes for a while. And if the weather is good, the villagers transform the handball field into a beautiful skating rink.

PEACE AND BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

It will be quiet nights and quiet days in Húns. The hustle and bustle of everyday life seems to be literally frozen here. And that sometimes produces enchanting pictures. The low-hanging mist over the meadows, a watery sun, frozen ditches, frost on bushes and trees... Bring your camera and a good book. That's all you need to enjoy a winter holiday in Friesland.

ICE SKATING RINK

The kaats court in front of our holiday home in Friesland is the place where the terp stood in times gone by. Only the church still rests on the last part of this mound. In winter, the kaats gloves are exchanged for warm mittens. Because if all goes well, the frost - and the handy villagers - will transform the kaats field into a beautiful ice skating rink. Strap on your boots and slide on the natural ice. Then enjoy a warm snack in our cozy kitchen afterwards.

ICE SKATING IN FRIESLAND

Friesland is the heart of Dutch skating culture, famous for the legendary Elfstedentocht. This iconic tour of all tours takes skaters over 200 kilometers of natural ice past eleven historic cities. When the ice permits, thousands of skating enthusiasts come to Friesland to take up this challenge. In addition to natural ice, Friesland also offers modern facilities, such as the Thialf in Heerenveen, one of the fastest skating rinks in the world. Whether you are a touring rider or top athlete, Friesland is the place to experience the skating tradition.
