De Wartenster is an atmospheric, rural destination in Warten, set in the heart of the Frisian landscape. It is a place where peace, nature and warm hospitality come together. Located right next to the Alde Feanen National Park, the surroundings offer wide‑open views, water, and the characteristic nature Friesland is known for.

What makes De Wartenster special is the combination of space, simplicity and sustainable facilities. The warm water on site is heated by the sun — an environmentally friendly solution that fits perfectly with the natural setting. The buildings are modern, clean and thoughtfully designed, with a focus on comfort and a relaxed atmosphere. Despite the rural location, the site is easily accessible: within five minutes you are on the motorway, yet you still feel far away from the bustle of daily life.

De Wartenster is a beloved venue for celebrations, parties and weddings. From intimate gatherings to large events of up to 250 guests, almost anything is possible. The rural surroundings, professional organisation and personal attention ensure that every event becomes warm, unique and unforgettable. The area also offers plenty of opportunities for activities such as barge trips, walking, cycling and exploring the Frisian waterways and villages.

In addition, De Wartenster offers a large indoor storage facility for caravans, motorhomes and boats, located in a former 1,250 m² cowshed. Various accommodations are available for guests who wish to stay overnight in a peaceful, natural environment — with brand‑new lodges being added from 2026 onwards.

With its blend of nature, sustainability, hospitality and versatility, De Wartenster is the ideal place to experience Friesland in an authentic and relaxed way.
