Super small town with a funny name, which probably comes from a small lock that was once located there between Wanneperveen and the Meppelerdiep. And thus the origin of the last name of the writer of this tip :-)

The port of Swarte Sluys was first mentioned in 1398. Zwartsluis has been a transit port for peat from Drenthe to Holland. Today, the port is mainly used by holidaymakers and there are employment opportunities in shipbuilding.
