This route runs along the famous eleven-city route bridge of Bartlehiem, where you sail to starboard towards the picturesque village of Oudkerk. From Oudkerk you sail via ‘De Moark’ towards the Tegeltjes Bridge where it’s definitely worthwhile to disembark to have a look at the photographs of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven-city skating tour) participants.
