Lindevallei

This route takes you through the valley of the river De Linde in Southeast Friesland. It is wonderful to cycle here through a quiet stream landscape and through historic villages.

Clock chair
The villages in this region are full of beautiful historic buildings. The Boniface Church in Makkinga dates from 1777, the Weijert mill is a corn mill from 1868. Oldeberkoop enjoys a protected village view, including a Boniface Church from the twelfth century. Boijl has one of the oldest Frisian bell towers. The accompanying church dates from the thirteenth century.

Language border
The Tjonger river forms the language border between Frisian and Low Saxon, which is spoken south of this watercourse. It is fun to travel for miles in the river valley. Here you drive through a varied landscape of grasslands, small-scale forests and heathlands. It is wonderfully quiet here, so you can completely clear your head.
