Walking, cycling, swimming ........
The coastal area is exceptional for walking!
- There is the long route "Friese Kustpad": a 152 km trail along the coast from Stavoren to Lauwersoog. This is part of the North Sea Trail
- Shorter stretches are the HISTORIC WALKING TRACKS in the region.
All information is available at the Tourist Information Centres (VVV).
Cycling is the most popular way of public transport in the Netherlands. We use the bicycle for going to school, to the office or for our leisure time. Not surprising there are so many touristic routes:
- The most well-known is the "Elfstedenroute", passing through the 11 towns of Fryslân and about 200 km long. You may do it on bike or skeeler, and even by walking; but it will be always an challenge.
- Throughout North East Fryslân there is the cycle paths network: a system of numbered crossing points, connecting all villages.
- Locally there is the Bartlehiemer cycle tour passing by the majority of the sights of Ferwerderadiel.
All information is available at the Tourist Information Centres (VVV)..
- Swimming is very much possible in the
- Open-air swimming pool "De Sawn Stjerren" at Hallum.
