In the Lage Midden between Broek and Goïngarijp lies the idyllic recreational lake de Zwettepoel or Swettepoel in Frisian.
Part of the lake used to be connected to the Broekstervaart canal and the waters of the Noarder Alde Wei. Excavation of sandy soil created a lake of nature here. It is a quiet place with shell paths all around.
Fishermen also know how to find this spot. Apart from carp, pikeperch, bream, tench, eel and pike live here.
Dogs are allowed to run free around the pond; it is a small round trip of about 1 kilometre. You start this walk at the car park on the Swettepoelsterdijk.
Want to walk further? From the puddle you can walk on to the Noarder Alde Wei, here you walk along the water towards the ferry that will take you across to sailing farm Rufus aan het Water for 1 euro.
