Visit Friesland: a unique province in the Netherlands

'' The 11 cities of Friesland very occasionally host a gruelling 200 kilometre skating race – if temperatures dip below zero for long enough, and just recently a swimming marathon. But you can also travel the famous route by bike, by boat, on horseback, on foot… however you like.''

''This unspoilt northerly province is the spot to take your foot off the pedal and go slow, Friesian-style, amid raw coastal nature and a profusion of namesake black-and-white cows.''

''If you are short on time, but still want to experience the feel of this province, I would recommend to visit the capital (Leeuwarden) and one of the islands (Ameland).''
