A wonderful cycling landscape awaits you around the Frisian Akkrum. You drive here through wide grasslands, along waterways and lakes. You will also pass through De Alde Feanen National Park.
Old Fens
The Alde Feanen is a unique nature reserve. In this low peat bog of almost 4000 hectares you can look out over lakes, ditches, reed beds and thickets. You will find all stages of a well-developed swamp: from wide and open water to sheltered forests. The fish-rich waters attract many water and marsh birds. With a bit of luck you will see the rare purple heron or marsh harrier flying overhead. It is wonderfully quiet here. Enjoy all that natural beauty.
Frisian villages
In the middle of the Alde Feanen you pass through the picturesque village of Earnewâld (Eernewoude in Dutch). It is not the only beautiful place on your route. You will also pass through characteristic villages such as Grouw, De Veenhoop and Nes. In the countryside you can enjoy endless views, tranquility and sights such as regional farms. The route ends in Akkrum at Eetcafé Kromme Knilles. An authentic village café where you can enjoy a coffee and a delicious meal on the terrace.
NB! The ferry in this route only operates in a certain season, check the times in advance.
