Description

All it takes is freezing and the whole of the Netherlands will suffer from Elfsteden fever. Unfortunately, the last edition of the Tour of Tours dates back to 1997. So it's time to ride it yourself - on your bike. It's pouring!

Frisian forests From the saddle you can enjoy views over the polder, waterways, lakes, the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer. Where the skaters do not come is the Gaasterland: a rolling landscape full of deciduous forests, meadows and hedgerows.

Frisian history The tour takes you through all eleven places in Friesland that have ever obtained city rights. So plan enough time, because there is plenty to do on this 257 kilometer tour. Towards the end of the route you can have a delicious meal and stay at Hotel Restaurant De Posthoorn in Dokkum.

Epema State Near Sneek you will pass Epema State: a castle from the 17th century. There was a wooden house with stables and gardens on this site as early as the 13th century, but this building disappeared around 1450. The beautiful gatehouse dates from 1880. The park garden, although not exactly in the same condition, has been preserved and designed according to the English landscape style .
