Wommels is an idyllic little village in Friesland, located southwest of the Frisian capital of Leeuwarden. It is a calm and peaceful place and its inhabitants are warm and forthcoming. At the same time it is very well connected to the busier city of Leeuwarden and Heerenveen. There are many things to do, depending on your preferences. You can fish, take out your boat for a canal cruise, visit the museum, eat in one of the restaurants or simply enjoy the vast outdoors around.

In more detail, the village used to be famous for its cheese. Two major milk and butter producers set up their factories in Wommels towards the end of the 19th century. One of the old cheese warehouses houses a museum explaining the story. Today the village relies mostly on agriculture and life stock, but is also home to young families, who want to escape more stressful and busy city life. . Every summer the city hosts a tournament in Kaatsen, a form of handball, which is unique to Friesland. Wommels has everything that is needed for life.

The village is a great destination for all outdoor lovers, relaxation seekers and culture fanatics, who really want to dive into the life happening at the location they are visiting. Wommels is a place that allows you just that and the friendly community you will encounter is proof enough. In addition it is a great place to stay when you are interested in the sea, it is not far off the Waddenzee coast.
