The ‘Oersetters’ is a fantastic ferryboat cycling trip which takes you around the Southwest Friesland National Landscape. In 2014, the ‘Oersetters’ was acclaimed the best ferryboat cycling trip of the Netherlands, by the ANWB and pedestrian ferryboat association.
The name refers to the two pedestrian and bike ferries which are part of this cycling trip around the Frisian Lakes region, and comes from the type of boat traditionally used to ferry people back and forth. These two ferry boats certainly give the trip a very special touch. If you’re looking to discover and experience the beautiful landscape of Southwest Friesland by bike, then this ‘Oersetters’ cycling route offers no end of opportunities. From cycling through the very diverse watery landscape of Southwest Friesland, you will suddenly find yourself in a village or a historic Frisian city, before continuing on your way past the wide-open panoramic fields of this Frisian land. The ‘Oersetters’ really is a voyage of discovery!
There is so much to see, and various picnic benches all along the route, though of course you can always pop into one of the many cafés and restaurants, some of them on the waterside. You can also charge your electric bike at various points along the route.

Met deze fietsroute fiets je langs drie vogelkijkhutten! De ideale start is bij het Natuurmuseum Fryslân in Leeuwarden om vervolgens het gebied Uytland te ontdekken. In dit Friese Waddenlandschap voelt de weidevogel zich van oudsher thuis.
Deze sportieve en educatieve route brengt je door kaatsdorpen en steden waar je wellicht nog een gewonnen krans ziet hangen, langs kaatsvelden waar de belangrijkste kaatspartijen worden gespeeld en leer je in het kaatsmuseum hoe het spel gespeeld wordt.
Voor een rondje om het Sneekermeer hoeft het echt geen zomer te zijn. Met hulp van maar liefst drie veerpontjes maak je deze mooie fietsroute rondom Sneek óók in de herfst en de winter.
Met deze fietsroute door het Friesland van de reformatie ziet u de historische binnenstad van Franeker, het monument van Menno Simons in zijn geboorteplaats, schuilkerkje in Pingjum en enkele Doopsgezinde kerkjes, of hun oude locatie.
De route leidt je over rustige wegen tussen Twijzelerheide en Hurdegaryp. Vooral het verschil in karakter van het landschap ten zuiden en noorden van de spoorlijn Leeuwarden-Groningen is opvallend.
