Burgumer Mar

BW

The Bergumer sea or Bergumermeer ( Frisian: Burgumermar ) is a good fishing lake east of the village Burgum in the Dutch province of Friesland (municipality Tytsjerksteradiel ). He is a popular water sports area with several marinas. The Prinses Margriet Canal flows through the lake in east-west direction and connects it to the waterway network. The Bergumer sea has a circumference of about 11 km.

In summer, inter alia, held on Burgumer the sea Skûtsjesilen, a multi-day sailing competition with some over 100 years old, originally as cargo ships ( Dutch: Schuitje, Frisian: Skûtsje ) used sailing ships.

Around the lake are many small towns with attractions such as Jistrum with its built about 1230 church.
