Four ferries route Joure

Limited access
(50 km)

|

On your bike and across the water. This route will take you across the river by ferry no less than four times.

There’s so much we can tell you about this route: enjoy the beautiful views along the way and the crossings you make with a ferry across the water. One particularly delightful feature you pass is the Langweerder Mill, the only mill in the Netherlands that is both a polder-drainage mill and a rye mill. But the best thing is, you can spend the night in it. An experience unlike any B&B or hotel.
