Shaded by trees, the characteristic little village of
Eastermar is typical of the Fryske Wâlden (Frisian forest) region.
The area has got a long-lasting history of poverty, although recent
industrialization and growing mobility have caused a significant improvement
of the economic situation. In 1986 Eastermar was awarded by the South-Hollandic
government for its innovative village restructuring. This was also
made possible by the creative support of the local population. Eastermar
is a village with 1500 inhabitants, on the banks of the Lits. Once
a river, this waterway now connects two famous Frisian lakes: the
Burgumermar and the Leijen.
