We start this cycle route in the center of Bergum. Bergum is characterized by the 11th century Kruiskerk and by the'Popestien\\\' (\\\'Babysteen\\\'), a large boulder that is located in the village and to which some folklore is connected. For example, the stone would help in having children. From node 62 we cross the Princess Margriet Canal towards node 84. The Princess Margriet Canal divides the Bergumermeer into a northern and a southern part. The Bergumermeer is a popular water sports area with several marinas. In the summer you will be amazed during this cycling route. On our way to node 62 we encounter windmill De Hoop. We continue cycling in the direction of Oostermeer (in Frisian Eastermar). The surroundings of Oostermeer are characterized by a bocage landscape with hedgerows. A bocage landscape is a semi-open landscape that has the character of a stage with bocage due to the planting and buildings. A little further we cross the Margriet Canal again in the direction of Noordbergum. Until 1930, Noordbergum belonged to Bergum, when it became an independent village. At the end of the nineties, the population certainly increased considerably, making Noordbergum nowadays the fourth village of Tytsjerksteradiel , after Bergum, Hardegarijp and Giekerk. From Noordbergum we continue cycling in the direction of Bergum. Here we can enjoy the real Frisian delicacies. Friesland is characterized by its many water and associated ports. Along the way we come across Watersportbedrijf De Lits and Jachthaven Zwartkruis BV

This wooden octagon was installed in 1867 as a replacement for a corn and hulling mill, which went up in flames in 1881. The tower mill was used until 1947, but then deteriorated. After repairs, the mill was made ready for use. It is open for visitors on Saturdays.
