Ykema

Ykema is a small waterside campsite and access point situated near the village of Sandfirden in Southwest Friesland, set among meadows and lakes. It lies directly on De Flakke Brekken, which connects openly to the Heegermeer and the Fluessen.

Because De Flakke Brekken is not a through waterway, the area offers exceptional calm and open space, making it well suited for sailing and boating.

The site is centered around a working farm and provides a convenient base for exploring the surrounding Frisian lake district, with cycling routes and other activities available in the broader Sûdwest-Fryslân region.
