Cycling routes in Friesland
Cycling routes in Friesland take you through a green, water rich province full of space and quiet. You ride past wide meadows, through marshlands and peaceful forests, and of course along the Frisian Lakes with reed fringes and open water. The Wadden coast and the wide polder landscape also give many routes a distinctly Frisian feel, with views that keep surprising you.
Along the way you pass terp villages, historic towns, and old dikes that tell the story of Friesland. Thanks to the extensive cycling junction network, cycling in Friesland is easy, whether you choose a short loop or a longer ride along water, nature, and culture.
