Stay on the Frisian Wadden Coast
Welcome to Het Blije Schaap, your bed & breakfast in the quiet village of Blije in Friesland. Here, where the Zeedijk separates the Wadden Sea from the land, you’ll find a place that offers true silence and space. No crowds, no rush – only the sound of the wind, the birds, and the water.
Why stay in Blije?
Blije is one of the most beautiful, undiscovered spots in Friesland. This small mound village lies right on the Zeedijk and has everything that makes an authentic Frisian experience: vast polders, the salty scent of the Wadden Sea, and a peace rarely found in the busy world.
From our B&B, you have direct access to:
- The Zeedijk – for a walk with priceless views over the mudflats and the Wadden Sea
- The Noarderleech – one of the most beautiful and pristine bird areas in the Netherlands
- Holwerd – just a 5-minute drive away, the departure point for the ferry to Ameland
- Dokkum – the only fortified city in Friesland, about a 15-minute drive away
The Frisian coast – for cycling, walking, and enjoying nature
Sustainable enjoyment of the Wadden Coast
The Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the richest nature reserves in the world. From Blije, you can experience this special area up close. Head up the dike early in the morning and watch nature take its course – herons, geese, waders, and in the right season, even seals on the sandbanks.
Whether you come for mudflat walking, birdwatching, or simply for the silence and the panoramic views: Het Blije Schaap is your ideal base.
