Tour Leekstermeer

Description, sights and things worth knowing
# Until Enumatil the trip goes by road (Hoendiep East side) along the Hoendiep. This waterway was dug in the 17th century and was part of the first waterway between the city of Groningen and Friesland. After Briltil it continued westward under the name Kolonelsdiep. (This deep is described at the cycling route'AbelTasmanKolonelsdiep\\\', no. 1860545).
# In Enumatil the route continues over the beautiful antique swing bridge. At Tante Til in the Dorpsstraat it is very pleasant to have a snack and a drink.
# Via De Klap, over the Matsloot to the cycle path over the Lettelberterdijk. This path runs along the Lettelberterdiep, the waterway to the Leekstermeer. There are water basins to the left and right of this low moor area.
Due to the intersection with the A7 motorway, the cyclist has to make a small detour via junction 50.
# The Hoofdstraat forms the age-old connection between the Vredewold area and the city of Groningen. The route goes along this road until about 50 meters after the bridge over the Lettelberterdiep and then left onto the cycle path, again along the deep.
# Where it ends deep in the Leekstermeer there is a small watchtower. It offers a nice view of the lake and Paviljoen Cnossen in the distance. The cycle path bends to the right and then runs along the Leekster Hoofddiep. Follow the path to the bicycle bridge over the deep and turn left over the bridge.
# The cycle route follows the cycle path and then the Meerweg towards Holiday Park Cnossen Leekstermeer. The park offers camping options, water sports entertainment, a restaurant and a beautiful terrace overlooking the lake.
# The route continues via junction 83 to 39. It is then worthwhile to continue to the center of Roderwolde, to Woldzigt, the large oil mill. It is also good to relax in café Het Rode Hert. It should also be clear that Roderwolde is again on a sand height. Then back to junction 39 and on to 17. The route goes via the'Onlanden Mijmerbank\\\', a nice place to rest and enjoy this new nature reserve.
# After junction 17 there is another holiday park on the left. This is the north-east side of the Leekstermeer with a terrace with a beautiful view at Paviljoen Pool.
# The route continues on the road (appropriately named Hooilanden) along the A7, over the Munnikesloot to junction 58. About 100 meters before the road bends sharply to the left, before the viaduct of the Hoofdstraat over the A7, is on the left the Lettelbert bird hide. Might be worth taking a look.
# Via junction 50 the route returns to the starting point in Briltil.
