It is often called Oudega W to avoid confusion with the other villages with the same name, with the W referring to the former municipally Wymbritseradiel. The location of the village on the banks of the lake Aldegeaster Brekken makes it a popular destination for boating, windsurfing and sailing. The village church and the windmill Doris Mooltsje are both Rijksmonument.
