The Lauwersmeer area is of particular interest in migration and in winter for its number and variety of geese. Lesser White-fronted Goose (of the recently established still small western population)are regular in migration west of the Lauwersmeer, mainly in the area south of Anjum. Snow goose and other rarities can be observed at times all around the Lauwersmeer.
Lauwersmeer is about half way between Leeuwarden and Groningen where there are a number of hotels. The area can be reached on secondary roads going north towards the Wadden Sea coast.
