Mill Koartwald
On the edge of Surhuisterveen you will find the mill Koartwâld. This octagonal tower mill was built in 1864 as a replacement for a mill that had burned down. The mill was used as a rye mill for a long time and today the mill is still used to grind wheat. The mill is open every Saturday morning between 9:00 and 12:00. So be sure to visit the mill on Saturday morning if you would like to take a look at the mill.
Beautiful bell chairs
Along the way you will pass a bell tower with two bells from 1766 near Ureterp. The bells of this bell tower hang very high, so that the bell sound can be heard for miles around. Near Wijnewoud you will pass a bell tower from 1948. At the end of the route you will arrive at Camping de Ikeleane. Here you can spend the night comfortably after your trip.
