Do you also have visions of a great big family house with friends or family? Eating at a long table, chatting away in front of the open fire, wandering along the mudflats and playing fun, old-fashioned games with the kids… it Dreamlân has a special 7 to 10 person holiday home available for hire with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This authentic farm has a lot of atmosphere in itself but with all the luxury of a modern house. Here you can all cook together, eat at the long table in the old part and carry on chatting while the children play in the cushioned area. There are 2 separate living areas: if you want to relax for a bit, then just settle into the sofa in the charming front room.
GREAT HOLIDAY HOME FOR 7 TO 10 PEOPLE
In summer and winter, this family house is a great spot to spend time with your loved ones. You can spend days on end enjoying the Frisian outdoor life. But staying in and around the house is a pleasure, too. In the summer, you can eat outdoors at the large picnic table. In the winter, you can curl up in front of the open fire. In the summer, your children can enjoy all the fun things for kids at the small campsite. In the winter, you can enjoy the peace, space and nature.
CHILDFRIENDLY FAMILY HOUSE
Kids have all the space they need here. Playing with sand and water, a game of football, a ride on the go-cart, a trip to the dyke with a fishing net or just messing around. Since the campsite is safe for children, they are free to do what they like (without big people around telling them what to do). How cool is that? Yes they get dirty. Sometimes really dirty. But luckily there’s a washing machine.

Enhancing biodiversity
Op it Dreamlân is men al jaren bezig om het natuurlijk beheer van het terrein te optimaliseren. Voor insecten, vlinders en weidevogels. Jaar in jaar uit zijn ze het terrein verder aan het verschralen. Hiermee komt er steeds meer kruidenrijker grasland, en ook steeds meer wilde bloemen.
-
Sustainable water use
Gasten worden aangemoedigd om spaarzaam met water om te gaan, door het gebruik van waterbesparende douchekoppen en toiletten. Daarnaast is er een waterpomp voor grondwater in de waterspeelplaats geïnstalleerd.
-
Renewable energy sources
Er zijn zonnepanelen voor elektriciteit en zonnecollectoren voor het warme water. De bedrijfsauto is volledig elektrisch en wordt zo veel mogelijk opgeladen als de zon schijnt. Voor de vakantiewoningen zijn er hybride warmtepompen, waarmee ongeveer 80% van de warmte duurzaam kan worden opgewekt.
-
Material usage
Uitgangspunt op it Dreamlân is zo veel mogelijk zero waste te doen. Voor de schoonmaak worden alleen biologisch afbreekbare schoonmaakmiddelen gebruikt en schoonmaakflessen worden opnieuw gevuld met schoonmaakpoeder, aangevuld met water. De was wordt gedaan met wasstrips en voor alle producten die gebruikt worden is gezocht naar plasticvrije alternatieven. Veel van de materialen op het terrein zijn hergebruikt.
-
Money as a means to create social and ecological value
Investeringen van it Dreamlân zijn altijd gericht op natuurlijke en duurzame verrijking van het terrein: zonnepanelen, warmtepompen, streekspecifieke bloemzaden en beplanting om de streekeigen biodiversiteit te behouden, cradle to cradle ecolodges en een elektrische auto, maar ook door de aanschaf van de Story Station (zie onder) waarmee een duurzame impact wordt gemaakt.
-
Strengthening health and well-being
Alles op it Dreamlân draait om inspiratie, tijd maken voor elkaar en genieten van de natuur. Kinderen bouwen zelf aan boomhutten, er is een natuurlijke waterspeelplaats en veel plek en materiaal om de natuur en het waterleven te ontdekken.
-
Strengthening society and culture
Het beleid van it Dreamlân is gericht op inclusiviteit: iedereen is welkom.

Headmaster Jakob Klok in the resistance
Headmaster Jakob Klok in the resistance
During the war, Jakob (Jaap) Klok ended up in the resistance in Dantumadeel, where he played an important role. At the time, he lived with his wife and four children in Akkerwoude, where he was headmaster of the school at Hearewei 13. He stayed there until 1947 and will always be remembered as "Headmaster Klok."
Jaap Klok was active socially and in politics as a member of the Dutch Social Democratic Labour Party (SDAP). When party meetings were banned by the German occupiers, Jaap imperceptibly became ever more involved in resistance activities. He passed on party information, distributed illegal newspapers, and looked for addresses for people in hiding. Jaap Klok joined the LO, the National Organisation for Aid to people in Hiding, and became the Akkerwoude village commander.
Although people did not know exactly what he did, it was known that he was in the resistance. Despite the fact that his name circulated among NSB members, he decided not to go into hiding, but instead tried to be even more careful and to sleep at home more often than not.
As the war drew to a close, Jaap became very busy. The Dutch government in exile was calling on railway workers to go on strike. The resistance arranged for the hiding. On 15 December 1944, a group of about sixty refugees from Arnhem arrived at his school. Jaap was indirectly involved in the evacuation committee, which was looking for addresses for the unfortunate Arnhem residents.
Shortly thereafter, he was warned at the schoolhouse that during a raid in Murmerwoude, explicit questions were asked about schoolmaster Klok. Jaap did not hesitate a second and quickly left the house. And not a moment too soon, as ten minutes after his departure the Germans were already on his doorstep. From that moment on, Jaap knew that he had to be very careful. He hardly ever slept at home anymore.
From January 1945 onwards, the situation became explosive. After the discovery of weapons on a farm in Aalsum, the Germans became fanatical. They relentlessly hunted down resistance fighters and used any means to make those who were caught talk. The name "Jaap Klok" was also mentioned during these interrogations. Sufficient reason to leave then and there, with his whole family. The children stayed with relatives. He and his wife went into hiding elsewhere.
During the last weeks of the war, Jaap was very busy. Much had to be organised and discussed within the resistance to expel the Germans and prepare for the arrival of the Canadians. Just before Dantumadeel was liberated, the inhabitants were already beside themselves with joy. They raised the flag and took to the streets en masse to celebrate. Because of his resistance work, Jaap knew exactly what the situation was with regard to the liberation. He climbed onto the balcony of the town hall and addressed the people. After all, the danger had not yet passed. Even when that was the case shortly thereafter, he ensured that peace was maintained among the population of Dantumadeel and thus prevented the molestation of a number of NSB members.
After the war, he held many administrative positions in the province of Friesland. In 1984, Jaap Klok died at the age of 91. Fifteen years later, a statue of him was erected in Akkerwoude, which was then called Damwoude, as a tribute.

The liberation of Friesland 1
The liberation of Friesland 1
In early April, it became clear that the liberation of Friesland was imminent. Although the province had not suffered a real Hunger Winter like other parts of the Netherlands, there were severe shortages of just about everything. And the terror of the occupying forces was growing. This also led to increased resistance against the occupying forces. The battle between the two was tougher than ever in early 1945.
In Friesland, assault groups known as Knokploegen (KP) were responsible for most acts of resistance. But there were other groups too. On the orders of the Dutch government in London, all these groups were merged into the Dutch Domestic Armed Forces (NBS). In Friesland, this happened on 12 December 1944.
The NBS, popularly referred to as the BS, gave the armed resistance an organisation with a clear structure. The NBS was also supposed to play a role in the upcoming liberation. To this end, resistance groups were provided with weapons from autumn 1944. These were dropped from the air.
On 8 April, Radio Orange broadcast the message "The bottle is empty." This was the signal for the NBS to start carrying out sabotage operations 36 hours later. The aim was to make it as difficult as possible for the Germans to defend themselves against the approaching Allied forces.
The resistance did this by putting bridges and railways out of order, blocking waterways and blocking roads. The response of the occupying forces was ruthless. In retaliation, dozens more prisoners were shot at different times and places.Once the Canadians entered Friesland on 12 April, they were supported extremely effectively by the Frisian resistance. Because it was superbly organised, they were able to help the Canadians take control of important bridges, repair damaged bridges, and advise on the most favourable route.
By 18 April, the whole province was liberated except for the Wadden Islands (these were liberated in late May and in June). Compared to other provinces, there was little fighting in Friesland. Overall, the few thousand German troops who had been unable to flee Friesland were defeated by the Canadians relatively quickly.
The commander of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, Lieutenant Colonel Landell, praised the actions of the resistance by stating "Friesland liberated herself." While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, the actions of the Frisian resistance undoubtedly accelerated the liberation. And reduced the number of casualties on the Allied side.
In confrontations with German troops and their Dutch accomplices, at least 31 resistance fighters lost their lives. On the Allied side, at least eleven Canadians and one Frenchman were killed. The fighting and shelling also resulted in dozens of civilian casualties. The number of casualties on the German side is not known, but probably ran into the hundreds. With 320 houses destroyed and 4,000 damaged and 80 bridges destroyed, Friesland was materially the least damaged province in the Netherlands.
