Tip 3 In Blauwhuis, visit the Vitus Church by master builder Kuipers. Well worth a visit (Junction 12).

But \\\'De Oersetters\\\' is not complete without a visit to Brewery'Us Heit\\\' on the Snekerstraat (direction node 8), on the eastern border of Bolsward, you have passed it before. Aart van der Linden will introduce you to the brewing process of his Frisian beers and of course you can order a special glass of'Us Heit\\\' beer here! You earned it (after node 6).
