The best time to go to Akkrum is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the water and outdoor activities.
During this period, the average daily temperature ranges from 18°C to 22°C, and there are more daylight hours, often extending until late in the evening. This makes it ideal for exploring the Frisian Lakes by boat or bike, with plenty of opportunities for swimming, sailing, and paddleboarding. Many local events and markets also take place during these months, adding to the local experience.
Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will find this time particularly appealing. You can enjoy long, leisurely boat trips across the interconnected lakes, stopping at charming waterside villages for lunch or a drink. The longer daylight hours also allow for romantic evening strolls along the canals or dining alfresco at one of Akkrum's waterfront restaurants.
Families will also find summer an excellent time to visit. The warm water is ideal for children to swim and play, and many campsites and holiday parks offer activities geared towards younger visitors.
