Routes in Friesland | Walking, cycling, boating and more
There’s nothing wrong with jumping in your car for a quick trip from Amsterdam to Holwerd. But you don’t have to do that in Friesland. It’s an area made for biking and walking. No mountains to face, no drops for taking your foot off the gas. There are winding paths through thirteen different landscapes and over rolling dikes. Watch out for the sheep when cycling over the dikes. They maintain our dikes but don’t take their fellow road users into consideration.

boating
Around the block by boat? Floating on the shiny waves in a dinghy? You feel in your waterway that you want to discover the Frisian lakes or undiscovered routes such as the Acht van Grou or the Turfroute. There is probably a route that you don't know like the back of your hand yet. Book a house on the water, rent a boat, order a picnic basket and go on the water.
