===Special attractions===
Besides the well-known attractions such as the [[pinniped|seal]] crèche in [[Pieterburen]], the centre for mud flat walking and the [[Lauwersmeer]] area, there are also some other attractions. For instance, there is the Borg Verhildersum in Leens, Abraham's [[mustard (condiment)|Mustard]] Museum in Eenrum and many [[church (building)|church]]es, [[tower]]s, listed heritage farms, [[terpArtificial dwelling hill|terps]]s and protected village settings. There are also famous [[church organ]]s built by [[Arp Schnitger]], [[Lohman (family)]] and [[Hinsz]].
 
===Pilgrimage===
[[ImageFile:Garden-enclosed-ramiro-koeiman.jpg|thumb|left|upright|150px|Statue of the ''Our[[Sorrowful Lady,Mother theof Garden EnclosedWarfhuizen]]'']]
The [[Hermitage (religious retreat)|hermitage]] of [[Our Lady of the Garden Enclosed Garden]] in [[Warfhuizen]] is a popular Marian shrine. Processions go from [[Wehe-den Hoorn]] to Warfhuizen four or five times a year. A unique devotional practice is the '[[swapping of the handkerchief]]'. According to Spanish tradition the statue of the crying [[Blessed Virgin Mary (Roman Catholic)|Virgin]] usually holds a white handkerchief. The faithful bring a new white handkerchief and give it to the hermit to swap it with the one the Virgin has been holding which, in turn, is then given to someone sick or lonely. Students take it to their exams to calm their nerves.
