In the past twenty years, as part of the Friesland Lakes Project, five beautiful aqueducts have been built. This ensures that cars and boats do not interfere with each other's traffic, allowing all types of transportation to flow freely. It creates a beautiful and distinctive image: boats and sails seemingly gliding over the land. Cars can now always continue without interruption, and boats do not have to wait for the bridge.
Perhaps the most beautiful aqueduct can be found near Woudsend: the Ie Aqueduct that crosses the river Ie. Read more about how water in the Waterland of Friesland was the 'highway' around 1400 in the Stories Route Streams.
