From the Frisian Lakes to the Gaasterland

  • The Netherlands
  • Friesland
  • De Fryske Marren
  • 54.85 km (Approximately 03:13 u)
  • Cycling route 160664

This beautiful route introduces you to another side of Friesland: the Gaasterland, a sloping and wooded area. You can also enjoy the characteristic wide Frisian lake area.

Fortified city of Sloten
A little further on you can enjoy the historic atmosphere in the old center of Balk. The poet Herman Gorter also had a good time here: his poem Mei is an ode to Balk. You will also pass through Sloten, which, with its 50 national monuments, exudes a wonderful historic atmosphere. Almost everything of the original walls and structure is still there, wow!

Frisian Forests
In Nijemirdum you can see a solitary church tower from the fourteenth century. Further on you enter the rolling Gaasterland. You drive through Elfbergen, the Lycklamabos and the Starnumanbossen: three beautiful contiguous forests. How wonderfully quiet it is here!
