National Landscape Zuidwest Fryslân
Cycling in a wide landscape with lakes, reed beds, peat meadows, sandbanks, mudflats and picturesque villages.
The Landscape
Zuidwest Fryslân attained the status of National Landscape through a unique combination of farmlands, nature, and cultural history. The water-rich landscape is a true mosaic of different natural areas. In the clay and peat area, you'll find open water with broad reed fields, old meadow polders, islands with willow forests, flower-rich fields, and canals and ditches. Along the IJsselmeer coast, there are sparse grasslands, reed marshes, steep cliffs, outer-dike sandbanks, and mudflats. In the south, the gently rolling landscape of Gaasterland offers a beautiful mix of forests, open areas, and transitions with lovely views.
