E-bike route Franeker, Marsum and Winsum

With this tour you make a round trip east of Franeker. You cycle through the open Frisian landscape, through picturesque villages and past old farms that are scattered along the many canals and ditches. The route starts in picturesque Franeker, one of the Frisian eleven cities. It has a protected cityscape and has dozens of national monuments. In Marssum you will pass another historic building: the stately Poptaslot, also called Azingastate or Heringastate. It was built in the 15th century as the summer residence of a wealthy lawyer from Leeuwarden. It is now open as a museum and decorated in 17th and 18th century style. Worth the effort! Via Leeuwaarden you eventually cycle back to the lovely town of Franeker, where you can completely relax from this tour at Hotel Restaurant Poort van Franeker.
