Saint Boniface was an orthodox Christian and travelled throughout Europe in pursuit of his mission. He was travelling on foot north of Dokkum when he met his end. 

This walk leads in the opposite direction, from the village of Lippenhuizen past the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart canal and the River Tjonger to the historic village of Oldeberkoop.

The Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart canal was built by the sweat and toil of peat cutters over a period of several decades. Many other waterways were dug and settlements were established around the villages of Lippenhuizen and Jubbega, so the cut peat could be shipped out of the area on barges. The straight ditches are still visible in the landscape. 

Unlike the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart canal, the River Tjonger is a natural waterway that marks the divide between the Saxon part of Friesland from the rest of the province. Today the river forms the border between the municipalities of Ooststellingwerf and Heerenveen.
