links three of Friesland’s eleven cities. You set off from Stavoren and make your way first to Hindeloopen and then to Workum.
On your way out of Stavoren you pass the statue of the Lady of Stavoren and the playful Fish Fountain. From high up on the dike that leads towards Hindeloopen you have a clear view of the former Zuiderzee inlet.
With its little bridges, traditional facades and sights worth seeing, the picturesque little city of Hindeloopen offers much to enjoy. Needless to say, a visit to the Schaatsmuseum is a must. This Frisian ice skating museum traces the entire history of the Elfstedentocht tour skating event, so there is plenty to admire.
