Living by the water: the character of Earnewâld
Earnewâld is nestled between the lakes and ponds of the Friese Wouden, and that is not a side issue, it is the whole story. The village breathes water sports. The marina, the reed beds along the Burgumermar and the boats at the doorstep are not a backdrop but a daily reality for many residents. On the Earnewâld neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves say about living here. Recurring themes in the reviews are the tranquillity, the nature and the strong sense of community. One resident describes it as: "You know your neighbours, the children play outside and in the evening it is quiet. That is exactly why we came here." Criticisms sometimes focus on the limited daily amenities in the village itself.
And that is true. Earnewâld has a modest level of amenities. There is a primary school in the village, but for a supermarket, GP or a wider range of shops you quickly drive to Burgum, about eight kilometres away. Burgum is also the nearest larger centre with a train station on the Leeuwarden-Groningen line. From Burgum you can drive to Leeuwarden in about twenty minutes. By car, Earnewâld is accessible via the N356, with a connection to the A7 towards Groningen and Joure. Bus connections are limited; a car is practically indispensable. Anyone considering looking in the area can also look at Burgum for more amenities within walking distance, or at the quieter Ryptsjerk for a similar village character.
In terms of population composition, Earnewâld is a village of families and fifty-somethings. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but families with children are also well represented. There is plenty to do sport-wise: water sports are central, but local clubs are also active. Nearby villages such as Garyp and Tytsjerk offer additional activities and a similar living atmosphere. The municipality is working on liveability in the small villages; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel.
