Tour of Bergumermeer

We start this cycle route in the centre of Bergum. Bergum is characterised by the 11th century Kruiskerk and by the'Poppestien\\\' (\\\'Babysteen\\\'), a large boulder that lies in the village and to which some folklore is attached. For example, the stone is said to help with having children. From junction 62 we cross the Prinses Margrietkanaal towards junction 84. The Prinses Margrietkanaal divides the Bergumermeer into a northern and a southern part. The Bergumermeer is a popular water sports area with various marinas. In the summer you will be amazed by this cycle route. On the way to junction 62 we come across the De Hoop mill. We continue cycling in the direction of Oostermeer (Eastermar in Frisian). The area around Oostermeer is characterised by a coulisse landscape with wooded banks. A coulisse landscape is a semi-open landscape that has the character of a stage with wings due to the vegetation and buildings. A little further on we cross the Margrietkanaal again in the direction of Noordbergum. Until 1930 Noordbergum belonged to Bergum, then it became an independent village. At the end of the nineties the number of inhabitants certainly increased considerably, which is why Noordbergum is now the fourth village of Tytsjerksteradiel , after Bergum, Hardegarijp and Giekerk. From Noordbergum we cycle further in the direction of Bergum. Here we can enjoy the real Frisian delicacies. Friesland is characterized by its many waters and associated harbors. Along the way we come across Watersportbedrijf De Lits and also Jachthaven Zwartkruis BV
